New Heights – A Church in Transition

(October 2011) During the past five years, New Heights Lutheran Church has undergone significant
change. Throughout this time, your Vision Team (Church Council) has continued to focus on how we as a
faith community can best fulfill the mission God has for us. As we make this journey together, we want to
remain as healthy and vibrant as possible.

Recognizing that extensive change creates tremendous stress in any faith community, the Vision Team has
spent the past six months doing much reading, researching, discussing and, most importantly, praying to
discern how we can best move forward in fulfilling what God has planned for New Heights. As a result, the
Vision Team gained insight into the current status of our church and clarity as to where we go from here.

Cottage meetings were held during October to share this insight with the congregation. A list of frequently
asked questions was developed from cottage meeting discussions. (See
