Unitarian Universalist Church of Silver Spring
Our Strategic Plan
We formed a strategic plan in 2007, which is organized into four categories. Members can help us acheive our strategic plan by volunteering their talents and efforts through the many committees and activities which address these priority areas.
You may read the complete strategic plan (pdf), “Aim High in Hope and Work: A Strategic Plan to Promote Community and Social Action."
2010 Review and Update:
The Plan was reviewed by the board of trustees in 2010 to assess our progress and to update our goals. You may read the summary of this review and a listing of the revised goals.
The 2011-12 Strategic Planning Process
All members and friends are encouraged to particpate in laying the foundations for the next strategic plan by attending an All-Church Positioning Summit, on October 15th, 2011, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Learn more about this exciting opportunity and process.
Creating Community:
We always need to nurture our community, taking care of each other in hard times, and appreciating each other in good times, so that our connections stay strong. The following committees address this priority area:
Transforming Ourselves:
Our congregation is committed to growing and changing as part of staying vital and relevant to the issues of our day and our larger community. For us, this process is essential and continuing.
Transforming the World:
We strive not only to live up to our values and exemplify what we believe in, but to take our values and beliefs out into the world, working for justice and compassion in the larger world.
Supporting our Church:
Our spiritual home needs our practical attention in order to remain a comfortable and appealing setting, both physically and institutionally. We honor our responsibilities to keep our space and our govenrance structures safe, healthy and welcoming.
