Equity and Sustainability in Resources
Strategic Objective Significantly increase denominational capacity and will to make decisions on properties and resources focused on the ministry of the whole church, enhancing equity, sustainability, right relations, and administrative efficiency and effectiveness.
Renewing our attention to growth includes unleashing denominational capacities to support the whole church. Priority activities related to the common good include:
