3 Introduction The Operational Strategic Plan (OSP): A Living Document The Operational Strategic Plan (OSP) was developed in response to section 4.3 of the Council Policy Manual, which requires the Executive Director to have an operational strategic plan with a time frame of not less than three years. This document was developed relying heavily on input from the TLLC staff and Board of Ministries. The format is based on a drill down technique, which begins with the macro vision and goals and drills down, becoming more and more specific. This Operational Strategic Plan is a living document and will evolve based on careful analysis by the Executive Director with input from the Board of Ministries. It can also be modified in response to changes in the Council Policy Manual. Additionally, this document is a work in progress and will be modified and refined in the coming months. Definition of Terms Ends Strategy Tactic Board of Ministries Operations Resources of TLLC The Ends are the vision and direction of TLLC as defined by the Congregation Council. Ends Statement: Our organization will provide said benefit to said benefactor at said cost. In this document, a strategy is a method or philosophy intended to achieve an End. Strategic Statement: We will use said method or philosophy to meet said End. In this document, a tactic is a course of action in executing a strategy. Tactical Statement: We will pursue said course of action in executing said strategy. The Board of Ministries (BOM) comprises the five Mission Focus Areas (MFA) of TLLC: Education, Nurture, Social Service, Witness, and Worship. In this document, Operations (when capitalized) is defined as all ministry support functions and non-ministry functions at TLLC. In this document, mention of the resources of TLLC refers to the staff, the facilities, and the donated time, talents, and treasure of the congregation. 3
4 Functions of Operational Strategic Plan (OSP) The OSP is an operating manual for the organization. The focus of the organization is to meet the Ends designed by the Council and this OSP provides the Means to meet those Ends. The OSP is designed to be comprehensive. Any strategies or tactics employed by TLLC are to be included in the OSP. Ends 1) The Triumphant Love community grows in faith, embodies Christ, and enriches the lives of others. 2) Triumphant Love is a Christ-centered family where people find acceptance, support, and connected relationships. 3) Triumphant Love Lutheran Church is dynamic, vital, and relevant to our community. 4) Children want to be at Triumphant Love.

The monitoring and review process will be as follows: 1) Develop strategies designed to meet the ends of the Council. 2) Implement strategies, prioritized from most likely to succeed to least likely to succeed. 3) Staff and Board of Ministries will provide continuous monitoring and analysis of all strategies. 4) Any strategy that fails to be implemented per the developed implementation schedule will require a detailed explanation and revised implementation schedule.* 5) The staff liaisons to each MFA will provide monthly reports to the Executive Director regarding the success or failure of each implemented strategy in meeting the ends of the Council.* 6) The Executive Director will submit periodic information to Council for review, along with any data gathered which is relevant to the success or failure of implemented strategies. 7) The Congregation Council will accept or reject the findings of the Executive Director and provide feedback to the Executive Director. Modification Process The following are the steps for modifying the Operational Strategic Plan: 1) The master OSP will reside on the server in the user/mike folder. One back-up will reside on the Executive Director s PC and a second back-up will be provided, as updated, to the President of the Congregation. 2) The most up-to-date version of the OSP will reside on the website in PDF format (on January 31, 2010). 3) Minor corrections, such as grammar or spelling corrections, formatting corrections, etc. can be submitted to the Executive Director (ExD) in writing or through . The ExD will make necessary minor corrections to the master OSP. 4) Modifications to the Introduction, Monitoring and Review Process, and Modification Process can be requested either in writing or via to the Executive Director. The Executive Director will respond to all such requests within 1 week of receipt. 5) Modifications to the Implementation Schedule must be approved by the Mission Focus 9
