CHURCH PLANTING PRIMER
SESSION SEVEN
Vision and culture for a church on mission.
This session defines vision and culture, and states that we cannot consider either without the other. We also see how everything in a church plant’s culture either promotes its vision or detracts from it. This is the first of three sessions considering systems and structures, and helps us see how these “big picture” elements of a church on mission matter to its day to day ministry and mission.

Assess your current church’s vision, and the key elements of culture discussed in this session. How do those cultural elements promote or hinder the church’s vision? Then, create a name, vision statement, and values/goals/identities that would become the foundation for the culture of your church plant.
