ChurchWorks is an official meeting sponsored by a local conference for pastors and a mission-focused leadership team of 10-12 from each church or district. These teams work together around tables creating a skeleton strategy, and upon returning home, are able to create and share the vision and continue to develop their plan for reaching every person in their territory for God.

The leadership team is to be chosen with intentionality. Its purpose is to create with the pastor the long-range and short-term mission strategy of the congregation. An ideal team would include such people as—

• Casting the vision for territorial mission and ongoing, creative, cooperative team work between churches and districts
• Dividing the conference into territories
• Leading the conference office team, pastors, and members in seeking God for direction and power
• Departments and ministries equipping pastors and members for the vision
• Training pastors for leadership and equipping for the mission
• Resourcing pastors and churches—locating or developing outreach resources
• Funding—working together to raise funds for the Mission
• Consultation—assisting pastors and teams as they develop their vision and strategy, as needed
• Determining results desired, a cooperative effort
• Encouraging and holding one another accountable
