Saint Demetrios Strategic Plan, 2010

The Parish Council's Administration & Planning Committee, together with Father David and the Outreach Ministries Committee, are undertaking a new project for our parish's future: the development of a strategic plan.

This plan will help us chart the course of our future.  When completed, the Strategic Plan will be submitted to the entire Parish Council for its approval, and communicated to the Parish Assembly.

Such a plan will provide our parish with specific goals for our programs, acivities and events as we seek to fulfill our mission, the Great Commission of our Savior.  It will allow us consistency and continuity as we progress over the course of the next several years.

The Strategic Plan will be regularly updated to reflect our current situation and expectations.  Updates will be based on evaluations by our parish leaders and parishioners.

The main thrust of our plan is to grow our parish--in its membership, and in our spiritual maturity.  It will allow us to be better organized, identify our needs and goals, and to better serve our faithful stewards.

If you are interested in helping with the development of this project, please see Mr. Dimitrios Yannakopoulos, chair of the Administration & Planning Committee, or Father David.
