North Point is drifting away from its original mission.

The calling was probably clear for you on day 1. However, if you don’t check for drift frequently you can very easily end up far from that calling. Don’t be dismayed! You can still correct course.

Mission Untrue

Mission Drift

Mission True

Celebrate what you’re doing well

  1. Your key donors are vocal and engaged in keeping you accountable to remaining on mission. (e.g., they speak up and challenge leadership if something does not clearly articulate or embody your values.)
  2. Prayer is fully integrated in decision making, in meeting structure, and as a weekly or daily discipline for staff.
  3. Church partnerships are a constant source of consideration for your organization.

Focus on what needs immediate attention

  1. Your organization has a statement of belief, mission statement, and core documents that explicitly describe the full mission.
  2. Board members and staff sign a statement of faith before joining the organization.
  3. You have hiring practices that go beyond technical abilities and assess a candidate’s full mission fit.
