Bishop Benhase gives a brief overview of the Campaign for Congregational Development.
Dear People of the Diocese of Georgia:
Linked below you will find a document that spells out the priorities and framework for our Campaign for Congregational Development. This is a result of 14 months of listening, interacting, and praying with the clergy and lay leaders of our Diocese. The process that helped us arrive here has been truly from the ground up. Hundreds of leaders in the Diocese shared their hopes and dreams for our future. As our consultant, Royster Hedgepeth, collected all the data and shared it with Diocesan Council, three clear priority areas stood out from all the others:
■ Congregational Growth & Development,
■ Clergy & Lay Leader Development, and
■ Leadership Formation of Youth & Young Adults.

Remember what your pants size was then and what buy levitra online http://downtownsault.org/did1755.html you weighed. Within each of these three main priority areas, the Diocesan Council, the Diocesan Staff, and I have crafted three specific priorities to accomplish the goals. These nine identified priorities, we believe, will directly address the goals of the Campaign and help us fulfill them.
Our Camp & Conference Center, Honey Creek, can be an important strategic asset in fulfilling our goals. Having a strong and vibrant Honey Creek will make accomplishing these goals so much easier. The Honey Creek Commission and the Diocesan Staff are working in partnership with our new Executive Director, Dade Brantley, to bring Honey Creek to solvency by changing the operational paradigm and making long-needed repairs to the facilities. The great response we have had to date to the bond sale has begun to buy us the time to get Honey Creek operationally stable. A successful campaign will allow us to make the long-term changes and improvements to Honey Creek.
So, at this website you will find laid out the nine specific priorities-three each for the three priority areas. In addition, under the Campaign Priorities’ tab, a description and a short video in which I discuss the details of each is available for your viewing.
When you were searching for the 10th Bishop of Georgia, the clergy and lay leaders of the Diocese said they wanted someone who would be a “game-changer.” I heard that clearly. We cannot keep on doing what we always have done and expect different results. This Campaign is about our collective transformation into being a diocese that looks like Jesus and one that is unambiguously responsive to him in the Great Commission and the Great Commandment.
My hunch is none of us is completely ready for this journey. Neither were the disciples on the shore of Galilee. But they did follow. And so will we.
