Our Vision
Early in the process, the Long-Range Planning team consulted with the Diaconate, and we all agreed that the foundation of the plan, our vision, is the SFBC Mission Statement and Affirmation of Values. The plan calls us to Be Bold, Be Different, and Be Better as we continue to be a community of faith united in exploring what it means to follow the way of Jesus Christ.

Statements of Work for Task Forces
These statements of work have been prepared for the tasks that are being kicked off. Each task force will confirm what their statement of work should be, and the statements of work will likely change as they do their work. These are starting points.

In the process of preparing the statements of work, we recognized the need for an additional piece of foundational work - identifying SFBC's key ministries. The first priority is to list the key ministries that we already do. We then will prepare a list of changes to key ministries or additional key ministries that have been brought up as possibilities for the future. This information will be used by the task forces to support their work. We do not expect to finalize a list of key ministries for the future until our new permanent pastor(s) are in place.
