Strategic Plan

Mission

Marble Collegiate Church is a diverse, inclusive community of God’s people led by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. We inspire everyone to become positive thinkers who make a difference in the world.

Visioning Marble’s Future From Strength to Strength

This year after months of preparation, Marble formed a Strategic Plan to help face several new challenges in our ministry. The process has been guided by our consultants, Jake Mulder and Dr. Yulee Lee, from the Leadership Formation Division of Fuller Seminary, and represents hundreds of hours of participation by members of the congregation, the staff, and the Board of Elders and Deacons.

This Strategic Plan presents a vision for a growing Marble Collegiate Church – growing in faith, growing in relationships, and growing in strength. It celebrates the strength of Marble’s 168 years that have preceded us and also anticipates the additional strength we will develop, guided by our faith and our commitment to God and to Marble.

The Growing Priorities presented in this plan explore the opportunities our Marble Community have identified. The plan also identifies our challenges, most significant of which is a new financial reality. This reality requires new reliance on the support of our own congregation and careful, healthy stewardship of Marble’s resources. We are living into a new phase of Marble’s history.
