VIP 2.0
Two 12-month Cohort-Based Vitality Improvement Programs
What is VIP 2.0?
VIP 2.0 is a 12-month cohort-based program for improving congregational vitality. In VIP 2.0, these cohorts can be formed either within a judicatory or as a hybrid cohort of congregations from across the larger Church. Within these cohorts, churches assess strengths and weaknesses regarding vitality and sustainability, identify missional opportunities in their neighborhoods, and try on some safe-to-fail experiments, all aimed at increasing their vitality and sustainability step by step.
FaithX supports them in this with our proven data-grounded discernment process and proven tools, the Congregational Vitality Assessment, the Neighborhood Insights Report, and the MissionMaps for Faith Communities demographic analytic platform.
VIP 2.0 is based on our Vitality Improvement Program for Small Congregations, a a pilot program funded by a generous grant from Trinity Wall Street.
VIP 2.0 can be done in one of two ways.’
VIP Judicatory-Based Cohort:
A cohort of six or more congregations from a single judicatory, typically initiated by a representative of the judicatory that would sponsor the cohort and select the participating congregations.
VIP Affinity-Based Cohort:
A cohort of six or more congregations from different locations but with similar vitality issues. Affinity-based VIP cohorts are typically initiated by one of the participating congregations, which will apply on behalf of the group.
Cost Varies:
The cost of the program varies based on the type of cohort and the number of congregations that will participate.
