Mission Untrue

Mission Drift

Mission True

Celebrate what you’re doing well

  1. Mission Drift is a topic of conversation within your organization.
  2. 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).
  3. Your organization has a statement of belief, mission statement, and core documents that explicitly describe the full mission.

Focus on what needs immediate attention

  1. Board meetings are focused on culture, mission, and impact, and the board is aware of its role as guardians of the full mission.
  2. Prayer is fully integrated in decision making, in meeting structure, and as a weekly or daily discipline for staff.
  3. Prospective board members are interviewed by multiple board members and formally assessed for their personal faith and full missional alignment.
