As the church seeking to discern what God is doing, we want to be responsive to what God is up to, to learn, to grow, to change. Seeking and discovering God’s will for our church’s ministry and mission, then, is not a quick fix for a problem we may be experiencing but an essential and ongoing spiritual practice.
Biblically and theologically we see God’s world as represented in every community/environment, and any changes taking place within this social and cultural context need to be a matter of interest to a congregation. (a) What is God doing? (faith and discernment) and (b) What does God want to do? (wisdom and planning).
