Strategic Plan

The Plan’s History and Path Forward

In 2020, an extensive effort went into developing a St Matthew’s Strategic Plan for the coming years. This activity culminated with the Plan being approved at the December 2020 Congregation Meeting. (To see complete plan, click on Strategic Plan button below)

Early in 2021, the Vestry authorized the formation of a Strategic Plan Implementation Committee. The Committee acts as a catalyst for initiating efforts identified in the Strategic Plan. This often includes initial brainstorming for accomplishing the effort, recruiting congregation members to lead efforts, when requested, helping/mentoring and organize early Committee meetings, and informally monitoring committees/individuals implementing parts of the plan over the course of the year. 

Accomplishments, 2021-2023

Much has been done to accomplish the tasks laid out in the Strategic Plan since 2021. So much so, a separate “Strategic Plan Progress Update” brief has been prepared and is posted along with Strategic Plan below for downloading. 

2024-2025 Activities

It’s been more than three years since the Strategic Plan was implemented. Like all strategic plans, St. Matthew’s plan needs to periodically be reviewed and updated given progress on the plan, and the Church’s emerging needs. To the end, a Strategic Plan Update Committee has been formed and in early 2024. It reviewing past planning, needs of our growing Church, and recommended new efforts. The revised Strategic Plan is in the process of being reviewed and approved by the Rector, Vestry and Congregation. Once approved, implementation will immediately begin.
