Summer is a time many of us may visit another church.
Has anyone ever noticed a church's mission statement?
The reason I'm asking is because someone from our Conference Executive told us our church's mission statement "was too lame." (Not his exact words, but certainly the sentiment. But I think his heart is in the right place - he wanted to be honest about his reaction to the mission statement so that we might think about changing it.)
But that got me thinking: do people really notice the mission statement? How many members actually know their church's mission statement? The test of a good mission statement must be that visitors notice it enough to remember it.
Have any mission statements passed that test for you?
