CBA MISSION CENTER DREAM TEAM REPORT

TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 2017

​

Task: CBA Mission Center Dream Team was formed to consider a number of possibilities for our mission

center as a place to assist students in the Greater Cleveland area under our effort to provide “Justice

for Children.”

​

Process: Dream Team Members were given an opportunity to reflect on previous ideas or concepts that

have been tried before at a number of different levels of success. Each Dream Team Member then dreamed of ideas and concepts for the CBA Mission Center. The team discussed a number of items in an effort to clarify, add or perhaps eliminate concepts, ideas or specifics. Finally, the team reviewed the

possibilities and placed them into a category outline for easier review, clarity and implementation.

CBA Mission Center: A cooperative venture of CBA churches not to impact what other churches are doing. The mission center should feed into the local congregations and those congregations feed into the mission center.
