Mission Outcomes Self-Assessment
As Christians, we believe that Jesus is continuously at work in our hearts and lives. Additionally, we know that it is the life and sacrifice of Jesus that made deep transformation available to us.
The Mission Outcomes Self-Assessment has been designed by Good Shepherd Council, Staff, and Leaders to be used as a tool to guide our church as we engage in self-reflection and our prayer life with God. Additionally, this acts as a tool for growth and discovery.
To help support your walk, Good Shepherd has prepared a comprehensive (and evolving) Resource Guide for each Mission Outcome. These will be updated as more events and opportunities are scheduled!
