religion Religious organizations occupy a special place in the not-for-profit sector. Firmly rooted in their "mission," they often miss opportunities which might reveal themselves in examining that mission and seeking their individual "call." NfPVision has developed a unique approach to planning for faith communities. It takes the important principles which undergird not-for-profit planning and marketing and adapts them to use by bodies of believers.

Recognizing the unique nature of the faith community, Not-for-Profit Vision has a separate division, Mission & Ministry, devoted solely to improving the capacity for service among its members.

Mission & Ministry offers workshops designed to strengthen congregational capacity for service. (These can be combined with follow-up services.) They will assist in discerning a body of believers' "call" to service, developing means of reaching those in need of the opportuities for work and healing that particular faith community has to offer, and aiding the process of individual spiritual growth. The approach and methods used are non-denominational and appropriate for application in any church. The workshops provide an affordable alternative to traditional consulting services.

Call and Vision: Discerning Congregational Call
Programs and Support: Learning How to Implement that Call
Telling Our Story: Developing Means of Reaching Others
Visitors to Ministers: Creating a Process of Growing Members for Service
Joyful Giving: Discovering How to Make Stewardship Natural

For any religious organization interested in more typical management consulting services, those are available as well.
