October 16, 2007 Special Meeting Minutes

Call to Order: President Ken Wunsch called the meeting to order at 6:30. In attendance were Lorrie Graaf, Kevin Kelley, Doug Pals, Mark Pierson, Marvin Rohn, Scott Snyder, and Shawn Woolman. Tina Hoffman, Deb Kesse and Pastor Burcham also attended.

 Strategic Plan Review – The Strategic Ministry Action Team presented the Strategic Plan in two parts:

• Ministry Plan – The Board reviewed the first draft which defines the Vision (GRACE) by presenting an engaging story, the details, and specific ministry initiatives for each of the five components of GRACE.

• Implementation Plan – Next the Board reviewed the implied, specific requirements of the Strategic Plan in the areas of staffing, facilities and stewardship.

The Board provided feedback to the Strategic Ministry Action Team on the documents and also discussed the timeline and procedure for presenting the Strategic Plan to the Congregation. The next step will be two beta cottage meetings first for the Governing Board, Elders and spouses and then another for Past Leaders. A timeline was also discussed for presentation to the entire Congregation as well as the actual Congregational vote to accept the Plan.

Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 pm.
