Today a tweet by Steve Gladen, Pastor of the Small Group Community at Saddleback Church in Orange, California caught my eye:
Your job as the leader of the group is to continually cast vision, what do you want to see happen?
My assumption is that “casting vision” happens throughout all of leading and at times one sees the vision, but not the casting of said vision. Every now and then, however, perhaps it is appropriate to directly answer Steve’s question.
So I will.
I want to see 1 Groups…
…change the lives of the individuals who commit to being a part of those groups – both leaders and group members.
…reach out to people who have very few other points of contact with any church body.
… become the “go to” place for community for people at South Plains.
…become a place where young and old meet together, share lives with one another, and are mutually enriched as a result of that interaction.
…become groups of people who recognize that sometimes ministry happens better in groups than as individuals.
…to be known throughout Lubbock as a place where lives are changed and people become better followers of Jesus.
How about you? What do you want to see?
