Pathways

Description

A curriculum and process that uses the MMCo Audit findings to prepare a property and congregation for either Development or Alternate Property Use. Pathways are progressive from Financial Readiness to Organizational Readiness to Property Readiness. Most congregations will progress up to the Organizational Readiness Pathway and proceed towards an Alternate Property Use outcome.
