New Hope's Movement Toward Mission and Vision

Our Church Health Team will have its first meeting on Tuesday evening, August 12 at 6:00. When you pray, ask God to give this team of church members wisdom and energy for their important work for New Hope. Church Health Team members Elaine Hardy, Jim McCroskey, Cheryl Secunda, John Wood, and Bill Batchelor are going to help us accomplish the following:

  • Develop a clear Mission that defines God's purpose for our church.
  • Develop a Vision that paints the picture of God's preferred future for New Hope Baptist Church.
  • Define our church's Core Values.
  • Develop Goals that are aligned with our Mission and are being worked into our ministry.
  • Develop a clear strategy to reach our Goals with specific Action Plans and a process to make sure that we review our plans and communicate to all of our members concerning our progress.
  • Implement a clear Organizational Structure and a simple, repeatable process for organizing ministries.

There is love for one another within our church. New Hope’s buildings and grounds are looking good. Now we need to develop a clear vision of our future and a process for getting there. We are commissioned to help the people of Port Orange know and love God as revealed in Jesus. Our Church Health Team will help us see how we can do an effective job of fulfilling that commission.
