The dynamics of current times call for congregations to reinterpret their eternal mission and reimagine their ministry strategies in order to serve the present age relevantly and faithfully. F-Change was developed for this very reason. F-Change denotes Faith-Based Strategic Change: The integration of certain Strategic Management practices and culturally modified Organization Development methodologies, grounded in Biblical principles. It is a management discipline that complements essential Biblical description with methodological prescription. Congregational Agility is the adaptive delivery of ministries that are mission-consistent, relevant, and grounded in each congregation’s best-use resource capability. The congregation becomes the place of skillful analysis of its internal operations in conversation with its external environment for the delivery of the mission. F-Change equalizes pastoral leadership of change with congregational ownership of change for the sake of effective ministry. This is what congregational agility delivers, and F-Change is the avenue.
