Make the church more inviting and
receptive to families with children.
Enhance our identity messages,
materials, and methods to
communicate better to those outside
our congregation what is special
about Ravensworth and how through
us God can make a difference in their
lives and the lives of others.
Reach out “inside” to connect better
with and retain existing members and
long-term visitors.
