Planning Committee

It is so encouraging to be around other people who match or exceed your investment and passion in a subject. The more I am around the other members of the Board, the more I realize that they are putting their heart and soul into God's work at Maranatha - and they are good at what they do.

I was unable to attend the Planning Committee meeting this month, but seeing the notes from their meeting, we are blessed to have their leadership in looking to the future. As they are quick to recognize, only the Lord knows the future, but He asks us to be thoughtful and wise about what could happen. The planning committee continues to do just that.

So this month they worked on getting the Committees organized around goals and specific metrics that will help us gauge how well we are moving toward those goals. The also considered succession planning which is prudent since inevitably each of those serving at Maranatha will retire or move on to other opportunities. Thoughtfully planning for the replacement of key positions is critical. Finally, they instigated a plan to keep the Mission, Vision and Core Values in front of the Board on a regular basis to help us stay on track.

With the Lord guiding the members of the Board, staff and teachers through their walk with Him, their experiences, knowledge and skills, I really think even better days are ahead for Maranatha.
