It is the “thinking through” of several crucial areas—then deliberately and strategically moving ahead with God’s direction (Smitherman, 1997). It is ourroad map. It provides the framework for us to define our direction. Based on our direction, we will identify what goals, actions, and timelines are necessary to achieve our vision and mission.
