VCI Implementation Team Determines Purpose and Covenant

The Vital Church Implementation Team met on Wednesday evening, May 20, to determine both the purpose of the Implementation Team and the covenant that would guide their work together. Members of the VCI Implementation Team are: Tom Dartt (chairman), Sue Urban, Bob Fuchs, Chris Attarian, John Phillips, Kris Phillips, Dan Welton, Loretta Job and Sherry Parker.

The Team began their meeting with a look at the Apostle Paul's letters in the New Testament. They looked at ways that Paul praised the church's for their work and how he held church's accountable if they were straying from the teachings of faith. The team also talked about times in their professional and personal lives when they were held accountable by a leader.

The Team agreed that it has one specific task, to oversee the implementation of the prescriptions outlined in the Vital Church Initiative Report. Dan Welton agreed to be the liaison to Pastor Sherry, reviewing and encouraging her as she works to fulfill her tasks as outlined in the VCI report. Sue Urban will be the liaison to the Hospitality Team that is led by Larry Job. Chris Attarian will be liaison to the Faith Development Team. As more teams are formed in the fall, the Implementation Team will seek to be connected with team leaders.

If you are interested in progress through the Vital Church Initiative prescriptions, you are invited to contact Implementation Team members.
