This is the agenda for Church of the Resurrection's West Campus annual one-day planning meeting. This basic agenda has been used for more than 5 years. As the number of staff has grown, they have divided the day, with ministry department leaders coming for the morning, joined by the rest of the staff at lunch for the remainder of the day.

Evaluating and choosing between new ideas for ministry is an important responsibility and a challenge faced by every church. This resource is used by the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in vetting all new ministry ideas and proposals. It has been cited as a key element in the church's clarity of purpose and vision alignment.

In starting a new pastoral assignment, United Methodist pastors typically meet with the group of people serving as the church's Pastor-Parish Relations Committee. Although one of the most important relationships, when it comes to the shared ministry of the pastor and his or her new congregation, these are often fraught with unspoken assumptions and expectations. This tool was designed to be used by pastors in that first introductory meeting to get aquainted with the new Pastor-Parish Relations Committee, clarify values and surface potential land mines.
