Before You Write Your Vision Statement


Avoid making your vision/mission statement so lofty that you are doomed to fail. Make it simple. Allow people to get their arms around it. If people can't remember it, they can't follow it. Keep it as short as you possibly can as long as it motivates and directs people.

Here are two suggestions for your consideration:

  • Helping kids fulfill their destiny.
  • Helping kids face the future with faith and courage.

There are many ingredients that go into accomplishing a simple vision, such as the ones suggested. A few examples are: personal relationship with Jesus, Bible knowledge, knowing how to pray and sharing your faith. How you accomplish your vision will evolve. But answer this question before you write your vision. When it is all over, what do you passionately want to accomplish in the lives of boys and girls? That is your vision.
