BCIM's Strategic Planning

November 30, 2013 was a hectic day for BCI Marikina. It was the day E12 leaders and heads of the different ministries convened for the much anticipated Church’s strategic planning. Pastor Eugene Recerone commenced the program with an opening prayer. It was followed by singing songs led by Kuya BJ Adecer. Sister Cathy Uson facilitated the ice breaker. Pastor Eugene’s challenge that morning talked about the importance of planning and maintaing the church’s vision. After that, Brother Rannen Darroca asked every ministry to come up with their mission, vision and desired results for 2014.

The web activity

Next is the “web activity”. Everyone gathered in a circle and is asked to express his or her gratitude to any person in the group while passing the string; the mentioned person will in turn thank another person while passing the string which eventually formed into a web. Brother Rannen then explained the activity which relates to the importance of support and unity in the church.

This was followed by Sister Cathy’s report regarding the different big and small blessings the church received in the year 2013. This includes various programs in and out of the church (Be Careful With My Heart love fellowship, AMEN and WOW’s outing at Pranjetto Hills), events (Church’s 19^th anniversary, Junior Camp, Medical Mission), equipment (new television and sound system) just to name a few.

Everyone voiced out their opinions in the SWOT (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats) analysis regarding the church’s performance. Then, Pastor Eugene presented the long-range plan of the church up to year 2020. He highlighted the church’s “fishing nets” or focuses namely the campus ministry, the camp ministry, the community ministry and the children ministry. After that, each ministry presented their respective plans for 2014.
