1 Mission Action Plans Derby Diocese
2 Mission Action Plans A Mission Action Plan is a document which outlines the mission activities that a local church is going to do in the coming months and years. A MAP does exactly what is says on the tin an action plan for mission.
3 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1: 8
4 Going for growth 1. Where are we starting from? 2. Where are we going? 3. What s the best way to get there? 4. What do we need to do?
5 MAP York MAP study conclusions In all cases where the MAP principles are firmly established, churches report overall growth Often in difficult key areas such as children and young people, or increased male membership. MAPs have helped hundreds of churches to look more closely at how they are serving God, and what it means to be the Body of Christ in their local situation. The MAP process draws on the power of the Holy Spirit, encouraging wider use of the gifts of discernment, wisdom, insight, understanding, faith, and knowledge. Paul Wordsworth, Diocesan Missioner, Sept 2007
6 MAP - feedback Engaging with the community can be fun we are glad we overcame our fear It s about time we walked the walk MAP has helped us think this through
7 MAP - feedback Visitors commented that our MAP notice board indicated that the church had signs of life Visitors liked the fact that the church is taking mission seriously
8 MAP - feedback MAP has been enabling - we can consider mission that is appropriate for us Stakeholder interviews forced us to think beyond our church
