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.

Celebrate what you’re doing well

  1. The verbal sharing of Christ is actively and intentionally being discussed on a consistent basis (even if methods for doing so are less clear because of context limitations).
  2. 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.)
  3. Board members and staff sign a statement of faith before joining the 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. Staff members know and believe the core tenets of your full mission
  3. Supporters are in alignment with the core tenets of your full mission.
