Our Goals for 2021
1. By the end of December 2021, with the help of our Technology and the effective use of our Website, our radio podcast, YouTube channel, Coffee House, El Buen Pastor UMC will be totally immersed in a Hybrid Model Church with virtual and in-person options for worship, for disciple making, Bible study, and Spiritual formation, as recorded through photos, videos, reports and testimonies of leaders and participants.
2. By the end of December 2021, and through a shift of ministry model – in which mission is the main focus of our ministry and worship is the result of our mission, El Buen Pastor UMC will increase to a 50% of self-financial sustainability, as shown by our Financial year-end and Treasurers Reports.
3. By the end of December 2021, and with active participation of members and partners in our community, El Buen Pastor will have two new community ministries (one geared to families with disabilities, and the other to children and youth) as visible and productive as the ONE STOP shower program, as shown by community testimony gathered for the 2021 report prepared for Charge Conference next year.
