Synopsis
A working committee's guide to planning faithfully — and finishing the plan.
Most congregations do not fail to plan. They fail to finish a plan. The binder gets written, the retreat gets held, the slide deck gets presented — and eighteen months later, no one is quite sure which of the priorities are still live, who owns which task, or what the plan was actually asking of them.
Faithful Planning is the book a committee wishes it had before its first meeting. Drawn from two years of actual planning work in a mainline congregation and written ecumenically for any Christian tradition, it walks a planning committee through the eight parts of the work in the order the work actually unfolds: reading the landscape, building the framework, sorting out governance, aligning people and roles, telling the story, choosing technology as stewardship, engaging members, and — the part most books skip — turning the plan into practice.
Inside, you'll find:
- A plain-language framework a committee can actually read on a weekday evening after work
- Sidebar case material from one composite congregation, showing how the reasoning plays out in real decisions
- Practical tools at the end of every chapter — worksheets, self-assessments, checklists — ready to adapt for your context
- An implementation discipline (the twelve-month theme, the reconstituted planning body, the phased action plan) that keeps the plan alive after approval
- A standalone appendix, Working With AI as a Colleague, that walks a first-time drafter through producing a committee document end to end
Written by a committee member for committee members, Faithful Planning assumes you care about the work, respect the tradition, and want honest evidence to precede honest planning. If you have been handed a planning file and do not know where to begin — or if you have led planning before and want a framework built to survive the year after approval — this book is for you.
