How do we make the North England Conference strategy apply to Netherfield Seventh-day Adventist Church?

Come to that, how could we make the strategy apply to any church?

Our first task is to remind ourselves of the source of the strategy. God gave the strategy for leadership and church management years ago through a great administrator called Nehemiah. God seems to have then decided, "I could work with the North England Conference by reminding them that there are walls that need to be rebuilt. I'll give their new President a vision of what I want". You can read about that vision here.

In order to put some flesh and bones on the strategy and begin to make it more applicable to the local church we then created a video on youtube - you can watch that video here.

That gives you an outline - but now you need to begin to work out how YOU fit in and what you can contribute to the strategy for Netherfield. I would love you to read about the vision, watch the video - and then pray for a bit of heavenly wisdom and guidance. Then I want you to click here and download a teaching sheet. I don't need you to print it up - as it will eat up ink in your printer. You can print it if you want  - but I'm thinking of the planet here, as well as your pocket.

I want you to read that document, have a prayer, have a think. Then I would love you to watch a second video. This is one to get you to think about what your own 'walls' are - and what may be the 'walls' that might be holding your church back from becoming a thriving church. Here is the video, it is designed to get you thinking and praying.
