Pathways for Fruitful and Healthy Ministry

Discover how your congregation can have a great future.

Pathways offers your congregation a process to grow to be healthy and fruitful. Pathways resources offer the tools to create a plan to take the next faithful steps in mission and ministry and mobilize leaders and disciples to transform the world.

Pathways offers six ways to develop a path for your congregation’s growth, vitality and mission. Pathways discern God’s calling, reverse decline, build on what is going well, and align mission, goals, activities, people and money to be our best for God.
