Strategic QuestionHow can FUMC lead and respond in a constructive way to the imminent changes in Katy, so we build on a century of strengths and preserve our mission and values?

DefinitionsGiven – something that is assumed, taken as a premise; a fact.

Strategy – a big picture, long-term plan of action; a way of maneuvering so that the best outcome is possible.Tactic – small-scale actions that serve a larger purpose; actions of less magnitude focused on a short-term goal.

Insights•Every alternative needs a strong focus on Welcoming and Involvement – The Vision Team believes a larger budget and special teams are needed to accomplish this.•There is a financial/stewardship concern in every facility alternative•Any significant facility change will take time to implement (fund-raising, planning, execution)•Every alternative has Pros, Cons and Trade Offs•Charts in FLC, Education Building & Narthex have additional detail – also on the web at http://fumcvision.katyweb.net•No preference for any alternative is implied.•If you have questions, please ask a Vision Team member or email fumcvision@katyweb.net

Decision HierarchyGivens–We are located in Katy–We have aging buildings–Katy is growing and changing–Major ministry choices are made and are effective–Church must connect with new changing community (new membership)

Strategy (focus now)–Welcoming–Assimilation (Involvement)–Facilities

Tactics (focus later)–Ministry Changes (adjustments)–Buying Real Estate–Technology–Staffing–Training–Measure member involvement

Status Quo Only maintain

our current facilities; no new

building, keep things as they

are now.

RelocateSell our current facilities; build

new facilities in a more visible

location.

RegenerateRebuild/Remodel and enlarge our

current facilities in phases. Make improvements

to older buildings to make them more visitor &

member friendly. May include

property purchases.

Multi-siteRebuild/remodel

current facilities in phases, also add a second site (could

range from a small satellite

location for ministries (such as preschool or youth or senior center) to a second, full-service church. This looks like

Regenerate but with a second

location added.
