This document summarizes the strategic planning process of First Baptist Vancouver from 2006 to 2008. It identifies three initial areas of focus: becoming a more welcoming community, improving communication, and developing governance and training. Over time, five ministry focus areas emerged and two task forces were formed to help with implementation and organizational structure. The key recommendations were to develop annual plans for each ministry area to guide the budget, and consider changes to the organizational structure to better support the church's vision and goals. The church is now working on drafting annual plans and task force recommendations to help guide ministry in 2009 and beyond.
