The strategic plan for the Evangelicals of Body Church and Ministries focuses on leadership enhancement, member engagement, and infrastructure development from 2024-2029. Enhancing leadership involves conducting training workshops for church leaders, developing operational policies, and creating a feedback mechanism. This strategy includes conducting annual meetings to review and refine governance structures based on congregant feedback.
The strategy to strengthen member engagement includes organizing fellowship events, conducting skills workshops, and encouraging youth participation in church activities. It also involves recognizing volunteer contributions and creating platforms for members to lead initiatives. Infrastructure expansion encompasses planning and fundraising for new facilities, upgrading existing ones, and incorporating sustainable energy solutions.
