Mission
The mission is the guiding compass of the church. It expresses a direction and points everyone in that direction. The mission is timeless. The mission is like a golden thread that weaves through every activity of our church. It is primarily an internal communications phrase that will rally our membership around one common goal. Simply put, it is “the great commission communicated in a culturally relevant way.”
Values
Values are the motivational flame of the church—a set of unchanging beliefs or principles that guide and govern the decisions within the church. They are springboards for daily action and filters for decision-making. Values represent the conscience of the church. They distinguish Parkway Bible Church’s philosophy of ministry and shape the culture and ethos within.
Strategy
The strategy is the process by which Parkway Bible Church accomplishes its mission. It is a flashlight that will help new people clearly see next steps and guide our membership to a clear understanding of expectations. The strategy is like a container that holds all organization activities into one meaningful whole. Without this framework, individuals within the church will forget how each work component fits into the mission. The strategy helps people to see their way and connect highly specific role descriptions and procedures to the mission and vision of the church.
Measures
Measures are the attributes or characteristics of an individual’s life that define or reflect the achievement of the mission visualized as hitting the bull’s eye. The mission measures (marks) are our organization’s portrait of success and definition of maturity. It provides the standard by which the mission can be measured with respect to an individual’s development through the ministry of the church. What does it look like when I am connected to Jesus Christ?
