Three year vision plan • January 2010 – December 2012 New Pastor – Remaining mindful that we are totally reliant on the Lord to bring us CPC’s new Senior Pastor, the Pulpit Committee will prayerfully and diligently work towards having a new senior pastor in place by the summer of 2011.   Communication – The Session and the Pulpit Committee will provide regular communication to the congregation throughout the transition period regarding the status of the work of the Pulpit Committee and ongoing ministries.   Growth – By the end of the transition, CPC will strive to average 1,000-plus in worship attendance, along with measurable growth in membership (both new members and member retention), visitor attendance, Sunday School attendance, small group involvement,short-term missions participation and evangelistic efforts and activities.   Prayer – CPC will maintain and build the Prayer Ministry throughout the transition period. This will be confirmed by growth in participation by men and women in the Hedge Ministry, as well as weekly and periodic prayer opportunities for the church at large.n   Financial – By the end of the transition period, CPC will prayerfully look to God to increase giving to the General Fund by 5% annually and Faith Promise by 10% annually. CPC will also have pledges in place to retire all existing debt.   Shepherding – The Session is committed to the continued shepherding of our members. The Session shall provide ongoing training and will implement measurable shepherding objectives by December 31, 2010.   Ministries Plan – The Pastoral Staff will work with the Session to review and revise our written comprehensive ministry plan. This plan will include the maintenance and expansion of current ministries and development of new ministry initiatives to meet the needs of our church family, our community and the world.   Staff – The Session believes that the retention of the current staff is in the best interest of CPC to ensure stability, and therefore indicates its support for their continued ministry at CPC during and after the transition period.
