Phase 1:
Orientation

Form a team to lead the congregation in becoming a place that
awakens, calls, sets free, and nurtures people for service in God’s
world.
Phase 2:
Assessment Preparation

Plan and publicize an assessment event, the congregation’s formal
introduction to Centered Life. By making a mundane activity
like the completion of an
assessment into a big event, you
will help:
-
ensure an adequate sampling (25% of
average worship attendance)
- demonstrate the congregation’s commitment to the process
- raise awareness of faith and daily life issues
- create an expectation for positive change
Phase 3:
Assessment

Publicly
launch the process in your congregation by hosting an
assessment
event.
Phase 4:
Reflection & Focus
top
Consider
your congregation’s past and imagine a future that awakens, calls,
frees, and nurtures. This phase prepares you to interpret the
assessment results to your congregation.
Phase 5:
Reporting
top
Review the
assessment
results and present your recommendations and findings to the
congregation. This public presentation will guide the
selection of activities for implementation in the next phase.
Phase 6:
Implementation
top
Here you
will select, plan, and implement activities, or “faith and daily
life interventions”, totaling 100 points your congregation.
Your work in the previous two phases will guide the selection of
these activities.

Look back
on God’s good work these past months and anticipate what lies ahead.
