One Church, Many Locations
A Plan for the Episcopal Church in Iowa
Years of our Lord 2008-2012
This strategic plan is meant to be a guide, based on our collective hopes and desires, on how we might best and most wisely serve God as the Episcopal Church in Iowa. It focuses on four strategic ministry areas:
Shared Ministry
Strengthening Congregations
Next Generations of Faith
Anglican-Episcopal Identity
From Bishop Scarfe:
I pray that this plan offers a guide for our common ministry, and can be engaged at every level. I hope it will be a plumb line for every Diocesan Commission and local congregation as you set forth your goals for the coming years. I trust it is a plan in which you see your words and your desires as Christian people, for it was created from your common voice.
