A Vision for Woodmont Christian Church

Woodmont is a landmark church in the community and among the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). We act as both a beacon (Matt. 5:14-16) and a bridge (I Cor. 12:13) to a new life together in Jesus Christ.

To accomplish this, we seek to move from:

Less “church” to more “Jesus” (deepening spirituality)
Less “confusion” to more “connection” (stronger communication)
Less “meetings” to more “ministry” (streamlined structure)

1) Less “church” and more Jesus

Deepening the committed core of members with a Christ-focused faith approach
Consistently excellent worship -- pulpit work that touches head and heart
Move from being a church with small groups to a church of small groups
Continual track of leadership developmentIntentionally creating all-church events to continue the connection of a larger community
Serious focus on spiritual practices
Hands-on lay ministry
Living the vision—worshipful work

2) Less confusion and more connection

Create standing communications committee to provide touch point, process and liaison to staff
Create consistency and integration of message and media for both internal and external audiences
Update data management tools and processes
Update visual identity package
Consider new signage
Overhaul Web site (both design and content)

3)Less meeting and more ministry

Reduce Board size to 12 (including six at-large members)
Implement staggered two-year terms for Board members
Senior Pastor empowered for Ministry, Mission, Staff decisions
Consolidate Divisions into 4 Ministry teams: Connect - Resource - Equip - Worship
Current size of Elders and Deacons remain the same
