rH's REVEAL 2008

realHope Christian Church (rH) continues to take bold steps forward and anticipates 2008 to be a year of significant growth both spiritually and numerically. rH’s mission to reach people with real concerns and provide real answers to live a real purpose as Christ followers focuses us on our missional purpose as a church.

rH’s growth strategy will be supported with strategic outreach events, beginning of home groups, addition of leadership, and leveraged with new marketing techniques through mass emails, traditional mail, and web-site enhancements. Growth will rely on owners committing to spiritual growth with renewed focus on personal and corporate prayer life. Our vision to respond and release people into God’s freedom will continued to be reached with people becoming new devoted Christ-followers.

Strength in our current ownership (our word for members) will help increase our community awareness and outreach opportunities. Together rH will become a leading church in the community that provides a culture where people can come as they are and find life change in the body of Christ.

Our milestones will include:

Grow ownership to 50 people; average attendance 100.
Discover and develop community partnerships.
Complete building changes to facilities by end of Q1.
Recruit worship leader to start by Q2.
Participate in Fuquay-Varina spring festival (Q1) and fall festival (Q3).
Develop leadership infrastructure with new management team members and additional staff members.
Establish annual growth budget with support plan.
Revise vision plan to reflect current position and support future plan.
