St. Paul's brings ministry into sharper focus with VisionPath
Like most congregations, the members of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Oconomowoc, Wis., have varied interests - and varied ideas about the ministry direction their church should pursue.
Some prefer to focus on facility needs, while others favor a greater emphasis on emotional care. Still other members want more outreach to young adults, senior citizens or the unchurched in general - depending on whom you talk to.
