How Are You Going to Get Your Vision

Vision is a concept that we often discuss within the world of ministry leadership, but is it really understood? Oftentimes it is easy to get caught up in the jargon of ministry without fully recognizing its significance. The term “vision” is no exception to this. Vision is vital to the success of your ministry. Fully understanding what vision truly is and how to get it is non-negotiable. As we are focusing on the various nuances of leadership versus management in this series, we are starting off by addressing how to obtain vision.

Many pastors talk about vision and vision casting as if they are constantly attempting to find it. What is our vision? Why do we need a vision? How will our vision affect our methodology? All of these questions are great, but if the pastor does not have a firm grasp on what vision is, the answers they come up with are void. Therefore, embracing a proper definition of the term “vision” is crucial for your ministry. Once you understand the purpose behind vision and why it is so important, the vision you obtain will be effective.

Next, it is the job of a ministry leader to actually obtain that vision. What should our vision look like? How does our vision compare to that of other churches? What are the various components that make up an effective vision? These are the types of questions that can be tricky when determining the structure of your vision. We want to help you unpack these questions and give you a systematic approach to creating and sustaining a vision that will propel your church to a thriving ministry.
