- What is your opinion on "mission statements"? Do you think it is important to have one that can be articulated? How important is it to you that organizations have one (like businesses or churches)? Should individuals have one?
- If you had a mission statement for yourself, what would it be?
- Consider the mission statement Father Mike revealed on Sunday for St. Andrew's: "The mission of St. Andrew's is to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ." What does it mean to you?
- Does this statement reflect where you think God has St. Andrew's as a church? Why or why not?
- How do you think you fit in to this mission? What contributions would you bring?
- Father Mike spoke about looking down on the ministry of St. Andrew's from heaven 200 years from now. What would you like to see the church doing? What can we do now to see that dream come true?
- Pray for one another.....

Great questions! As someone who has dedicated much of my life to nonprofit management, I think an articulated mission statement is crucial to the success of any organization, but perhaps more importantly is keeping that mission statement always in the forefront of people's minds, no matter their role in the organization. Of course the mission statement means nothing if people don't know how to accomplish the mission, which is why I've been very impressed with how St. Andrew's is rolling out the goals and strategies for accomplishing the mission. Good stuff!!
