Lutheran Church of the Palms Grows in Vitality

Though Lutheran Church of the Palms is currently in transition, the congregation is committed to staying vibrant and forward thinking. Through a V2A grant, the church focused on the "Vital Congregations" goal through a Leadership Visioning Retreat. The event spurred a number of concrete actions organized into a 30-60-90 day plan. As examples, the church's communication strategies have been updated and worship is being streamed for new demographic groups. Working with a coach from Vibrant Faith, the congregation has improved its contact with visitors and the community, and is discovering the needs of schools and organizations in the neighborhood. The goal is to present Lutheran Church of the Palms as a helper in the community. The congregation has been energized by the work that has been accomplished thus far and is beginning to see growth. There is great anticipation regarding what God will do next!
