Strategic PlanMission Statement: The Northeast Florida Baptist Association is a fellowship ofSouthern Baptist churches organized to facilitate mutual encouragement andcooperation in fulfilling the Great Commission of Jesus Christ.Vision Statement: To become spiritually awakened churches encouraging, supporting and assisting oneanother for the honor and glory of God.Strategic Statement: The focus of the Northeast Florida Baptist Association is on the fellowship ofchurches and how that fellowship can facilitate mutual encouragement and cooperation in fulfilling the GreatCommission. Specifically, the Association desires to focus on helping member churches to be spirituallystrengthened by the fellowship relationship so that each church will be able to improve its ability to serve inGod's kingdom.In light of the mission and vision of the association, it is imperative that the association be organized tofocus on the Great Commission work of churches. This strategic plan seeks to do that through six objectives.I. Spiritual foundation of churches: To support and assist churches in developing a spiritual foundationand sense of God's vision for the life and ministry of their church.II. Leadership development for churches: To provide development opportunities for pastors, staffmembers, and lay leadership to mature as leaders for the fulfillment of the Great Commission through theirchurch.III. Customized assistance to churches: To provide process assistance to churches to help them fulfill God'svision for the life and ministry of their church.IV. Ministries and Missions by churches: To support and assist churches as they meet the needs of peoplegroups through various forms of ministry and the starting of new churches.V. Training and program resources in churches: To network training and resources needed by churches tocarry out their ongoing programs and projects.VI. Associational systems development: To develop the organizational structure and systems necessary tofulfill the mission and vision of the association.This represents a significant refocusing of the direction of the association. The movement is away fromasking the churches to serve the needs of an associational organization, to asking the churches to serve oneanother's needs using those associational systems that can facilitate this focus. Also, it is viewed that theministry of the association is the ministry of the churches. This means that all ministries should have asstrong as possible local church connection in order for the full spectrum of ministry to be able to occur.
