What takes priority, the vision or the people? Most of us agree that we shouldn’t simply tell churchgoers who aren’t aligned with the vision to find another church. Casting vision is complicated for any leader; it can feel impossible for leaders who aren’t visionary.

But there’s hope for even the least visionary leaders when it comes to casting vision. A church is at least partly defined by those God has placed within it. Pastors are called to discern the vision God already has for their congregation, based on the people he has brought together. The articles below will help you identify and share God’s vision with your congregation even if you feel less-than-qualified to do so.
