Ministers and commissioners at the 107th stated meeting (February 2021) approved a strategic plan to guide Presbytery of the James into the future. The plan included a new mission and a staffing structure to fulfill the mission.
History
Development of the strategic plan began in October 2017, when the presbytery voted to form a committee and charged it to articulate a vision and mission for POJ, propose a structure for implementation, and recommend a financial plan for implementation. The Strategic Planning Team arising from that action began meeting in January 2019. The team’s report was presented for review at a called presbytery meeting on November 21, 2020. All of the team’s four recommendations were approved at the February 20, 2021 stated meeting.
