| This qualitative study used action research with an appreciative perspective to develop a shared vision of the strategy the Bragg Creek Community Church of God (BCCC) could take to fulfill God's mission. Through Open Space, survey, and focus groups, the pastoral team, Council, Elders, and congregants shared their views for the future. The literature review examines leadership, partnership between leaders and members, and individual accountability within the congregational community. Study findings revealed that BCCC has an intimate, inclusive, and involved relationship with its congregants. Other key findings included strong support for youth involvement and more community outreach. Recommendations include opening a church community drop-in centre, expanding learning and leadership opportunities, establishing a multi-generational church, and leading an evangelical outreach revival. |
