Week 3: How do we approach evaluating Mission Zone opportunities?
The Open Doors Working Group hosted coffee hour in January and we experimented with using the back of the sanctuary, which is a little more compact a space than Chidley Hall, but is much easier for us all to access.
While at coffee hour you may have seen some posters giving a snapshot of what the Open Doors Working Group is engaging in as we try to understand how God is calling us to use our church buildings into the future. In recent all church emails we shared two of these posters with you for you to have a chance to think about what is going on. Here is the third one in the series. Last week, we showed the poster ‘What has the Open Doors Working Group been working on?’ One of the things highlighted there was that we have drafted a rubric for evaluating opportunities for the Mission Zone. Today we are showing the poster ‘How do we approach evaluating Mission Zone opportunities?’. We are really interested in your feedback and questions about this rubric.
Open Doors Working Group: Ben Keeler (LT representative and chair), Jonathan Goodell, Kris Montgomery, Andrew Sansom, Penny Sparrow and Branda Wilhoite.
Week 3: How do we approach evaluating Mission Zone opportunities?
Remember that the proposal made in the annual meeting last year was that the church be considered as two zones – a congregation zone and a mission zone. ODWG has been thinking about how we make decisions about these two zones. In this slide, we focus on the mission zone. We are sharing ideas from the draft rubric, created to help evaluate the many ideas for the use of the mission zone. Most of these ideas came from the congregation – shared in meetings last year. We would love to have your thoughtful reaction to this rubric, in particular. Please share in this process of discovery of God’s leading. Let us know what you think!
How do we approach evaluating Mission Zone opportunities?
The ODWG is refining a rubric to evaluate the many opportunities available to FCCW. By definition, rubrics contain “evaluative criteria, quality definitions for various levels of achievement, and a scoring strategy.” Our WORK IN PROGRESS rubric to date includes the following (plus more specific risk considerations):
