Few churches have a clear ministry vision. Consequently they lack focus and enthusiasm in their ministries. In an effort to remedy their situation they often try to create a vision rather than discovering the one that God has for them.

Future Shift^TM offers a way for churches to listen to God collectively and discover His agenda and the future He has for them. The result is a focused church with a realistic vision that makes a Kingdom impact.

Future Shift^TMleads the church ministry leaders and their congregations step by step to a discovery of God's vision for them by:

1. Calling them to face the truth about themselves and their community.
2. Calling them to pray for God's direction and leading.
3. Providing a congregational forum for the entire church to participate in recognizing Gods leading.
4. Coaching them in developing practical ways to accomplish the goals God has given.
5. Translating their action plan into ministry.
