Together with God - Together with the Church - Together with People
Together with God - Together with the Church - Together with People
The Strategic Plan "Going Together" is based on Christ's Great Commission calling His followers to "go and make disciples of all nations" and analyze the reality of the Church, found from several General Conference and Euro-Asia Division (ESD) studies. This information has shaped the areas of ministry proposed in the Strategic Plan for the successful fulfillment of the Church's mission.
The purpose of this document is to unite all members of the Church in proclaiming the Three Angels' Messages, inspiring everyone to use the gifts received from God. This document should be seen as a tool for pastors and congregations, missions, conferences, unions, and church institutions to help the Church fulfill the mission of Jesus Christ and respond more effectively to the challenges it faces.
Each of us has an important role to play in carrying out this plan. Please prayerfully review the key goals, objectives, and intentions outlined in this Strategic Plan. Analyze the key indicators. Which ones are most relevant to you and your ministry? What can you personally do to contribute to the proposed goals and objectives?
We believe that our combined efforts and the power of the Holy Spirit will bring blessed results in the development of God's work in our territory in the years to come.

"The Lord desires that in all her works today, the Church should remain as orderly and orderly as she was in ancient times. He expects us to be thorough and orderly in doing His work so that He may affirm it with the seal of His approval. The Christian must unite with the Christian, the Church with the Church, man, must cooperate with divine power, all abilities must be submitted to the Holy Spirit, and all must together proclaim to the world the good news of the grace of God" (E. White, Acts of the Apostles, p. 96).
PREAMBLE
1. To more effectively fulfill God's commission mission by developing different types of ministry and using effective and timely methods, in the ESD 2020-2025 strategy, we prioritize the following ministry areas to achieve specific goals:
- to increase the number of people purchased for the Lord to move toward the growth of the Church;
- to rejuvenate the Church;
- unite the Church in a cooperative social and evangelistic ministry, including online evangelism;
- Strengthen the pastoral team qualitatively and quantitatively;
- entrust dedicated, talented young ministers with the administrative ministry of organizations.
3. To achieve results, it is necessary to pool church resources in ministry, regularly review the implementation of this strategy, and strengthen the accountability of leaders at all levels of the church organization. The Administrative Committee of the EAD shall annually evaluate and analyze the implementation of the strategy based on the reports of the unions and report to the ESD Annual and Spring Meetings.
4. The strategic plan assumes that the congregation is at the center of church life. Each congregation and organization must identify and set specific, measurable goals based on KPIs for each of the main strategic areas.
