Serving in God’s Mission guides congregations through a consensus-based process of strategically planning for the future. This begins with an inventory of all the good things God is already doing in the congregation and community. Working with the entire congregation, a core planning team comprised of several church members identifies their purpose statement, mission statement, vision statements, and SMART goals.

Rev. Dr. Heath Trampe and Rev. Patrick Galligar, Pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Lecanto, Florida, discuss the unique dynamics at play in every congregation, the blessings of consensus building, and the importance of planning for the future.

Bio:

Pastor Patrick Galligar began his pastoral life in August 2004 when, after doing many other things vocationally, he was led to attend Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, MO and become a pastor. He and his wife, Gina, moved with their two young boys, 5 & 10 years old, from Oak Lawn, IL to Missouri. His first call was to serve as an associate at St. Peter’s in Columbus, Indiana for 11 years. Following that Patrick was called to Zion Lutheran in Marengo, IL where he served as an associate for 4 years. And finally, he received the call to serve as a sole pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Lecanto, FL.
