Do you know when not to build? Do you have a clear vision and mission? Is your congregation united behind the leadership and that vision? Do you have a sense for the space needed and if your financial resources can support building? Experience has shown that projects with effective leadership, a strong vision and a solid financial model have a very high probability of success. That's why this step is vital. Aspen Group strategic planners have the knowledge - and the network of experts - to guide your church through this foundational phase. We come alongside you early in the process to first help you clarify your church's unique passions and gifts, give you insight into cultural trends and research that should factor into your plans, and then help you clearly define your vision.
