About the Design Your Impact Workshop

The Design Your Impact Workshop is a five-hour, fast-paced, interactive program that helps a local church discover its unique DNA and determine a strategic focus that will maximize its resources for global/local impact. The workshop employs a variety of media and an interactive learning style to help church leaders customize a strategic missions focus based on who they are as a local body of believers.

The process is organized into five modules:

1. Recognize God's Global Design. We look at how God has planned to use the church to reach all peoples and at changing global circumstances that are opening new opportunities.
2. Discover Your Design. We identify key elements God has designed into your congregation--for a purpose!
3. Study Other Designs. We learn from other churches that have mobilized for outreach according to their design.
4. Design Your Impact. We begin to identify how God may want to use your church's unique design characteristics for maximum global impact.
5. Run by Design. We share some ideas about how to design a mobilization plan for your congregation.
