Corporate Discernment for church vision

God is building something new at SouthSide that He’s not fully revealing to the leadership and it’s clear that it requires the whole church to be involved. Therefore, the leadership team is inviting everyone to join in our discernment process this spring to first seek the Lord (as the Master Architect) and then to be obedient to what He is calling us to as he renovates SouthSide.

​
Previous discernment questions (from church leadership) and discerned responses:
  1. How do we spend and save the finances we’re given in 2021?
    • Revealed themes: Renovation (of a house) - God is the Master Builder - Our group has all it needs - Be obedient to what we’ve been called to do
  2. Lord, what are you calling us to work on? What would you like to build?
    1. Revealed themes: DG/ministry team leader involvement - building something new - unveiling layers - connectivity of the Body of Christ
  3. God, who at SouthSide needs to be building with us? How do we use our budget and finances? What do we share at the Family Meeting?
    1. Revealed themes: Make every effort to be unified in the Spirit - Be characterized by love & unity - Shared imagination & vision - Focus is on God rather than (building) the house


Our corporate discernment process utilized at our prayer times:
  1. Review previous themes and state current discernment question 
  2. ​Pray for God’s will, letting go of our own
  3. Ask God for wisdom regarding discernment question
  4. Confirm our trust in God 
  5. Group conversation 
    Discuss any repetitions noticed during the prayer time
    What others sensed God said/revealed 
    What things others agree with (that was shared in prayer and during this time of conversation) 
    Also look at how it develops our understanding of what has been discerned previously
