NEWS FROM 2020

The 2020 Committee has been charged with the task of designing a plan for moving College Hill United Methodist Church successfully through the year 2020. The initial survey report was posted on the website under the 2020 Committee to the congregation in October 2005. Since that time we have moved through several workshops in which the entire congregation was invited to participate.

The most recent and final congregation exercise was the Spiritual Needs Assessment which included 12 groups each lead by two congregation members trained to lead this very important part of the information-gathering process. Each group met three times for two hours. The total number of congregants that took part in the spiritual needs assessment was 96. The group leaders met for a Friday evening and all-day Saturday session to compile the data gathered in the individual meetings. Thank you to all who took part; you communicated the “voice of CHUM” to your leadership. This information will be fundamental to the ultimate design of the final plan.

What next? The 2020 group has recently met in a retreat seating and is developing goals and timelines that were derived from the workshops and the Spiritual Needs Assessments. The needs and desires of the congregation include all areas within the church from missions to facilities and finances to the spiritual needs of the congregants and everything in between. The results of this retreat and other meetings will be presented to the Church Council for discussion and approval. We will then begin the process of designing action plans for the accomplishment of the prioritized items as approved by the Church Council. The approved plan will then be delegated to the appropriate church committees and working ad hoc groups for implementation.

STAY TUNED: THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
