BoardDiocese of Des Moines Strategic Plan 2024-2028
This strategic plan for the Diocese of Des Moines, introduced during Pentecost 2024, outlines a vision of 'Cultivating Connections in Christ' and a mission of 'Sowing God's Spirit.' Developed through extensive listening sessions, the plan focuses on six pastoral priorities: creating a culture of welcome and care, inviting people into an encounter with Jesus, accompanying youth into discipleship, engaging young adults, preparing disciples for the domestic church, and boldly communicating its message. The overarching goal is to deepen faith and connection with Jesus Christ and one another, fostering encounter, friendship, and communion within the community.
