1. A Clear and Unique Vision

Every growing church has a sense of unique vision and purpose---a clear sense of direction. The church planter and the laity of the church share a common vision for what God wants that church to accomplish. In most cases, the church planter and the people can clearly describe and articulate their vision.
 

• They have also dedicated themselves to be on-mission to accomplish this vision.

• They know what their mission is.

• They have a written mission statement.

• They have a clearly articulated mission based on God’s vision for that church which gives the people a sense of direction.

• They are moving toward an objective.
• They are not merely existing.
