The IMPACT Process

The IMPACT Process helps congregations focus their resources for strategic impact, expand their current level of support and involve a greater percentage of the body in outreach. This process is tailored to the specific needs of individual churches and can last from six to 24 months. It involves a series of retreats and meetings for the church’s leaders and for the paid and nonpaid workers in charge of outreach.
