Dear Bobbie
a Mission Statement for a church may be a little different from a program for a local community… surely a church is involved in a community, but perhaps it has also spiritual and religious goals, and not only community development purposes.
Anyway, you may find – in Community Toolbox – a lot of good ideas for community development, in the first chapters: please see /en/table-of-contents.
In the same website, you can look at the chapters related to Spirituality and Community building, on the page /en/table-of-contents/culture/spirituality-and-community-building.
Spirituality perhaps is not just the same of a church program or of a Mission Statement, because it may refer also to a non-religious and non-ideological approach, nevertheless some of the explained topics – I am sure – may fit also your proposals.
Thank you for contacting Ask an Advisor, and have good work!
