What are we doing here anyway? Dan Hotchkiss states in his book, Governance and Ministry, “The owner that the board must serve is this congregation’s mission. A congregation’s bottom line is the degree to which the mission is achieved.” So if our mission is so important, do you know what it is?

One of the Board’s goals/objectives for this year is to review the mission/vision. An ad-hoc team has been formed comprised of Krynn Lukacs, Sara Reynolds, and Patty Duggan. They are researching and developing a process to tackle this project after the first of the year.

What do you think RVUUF is called to do at this time in its life? We need people to input ideas and connect to the mission that evolves. To the degree that we all embody and live our mission, RVUUF will be dynamic, healthy and thriving.
