The Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Atlanta (which has jurisdiction over all Parishes and faithful in the 8 Southeastern States) is pursuing a methodical and comprehensive strategic planning process. Under the visionary leadership of His Eminence, Metropolitan Alexios, a dedicated group of over 60 faithful from throughout the Southeast have been working diligently since Spring 2014 to develop and determine a Statement of Why, Strengths/Weaknesses/Opportunities/Threats, Core Values, Mission, Vision, Strategic Areas of Focus (Task Forces) and Strategic SMART Goals.
Through this strategic plan, we are focused on helping our parishioners ensure that their Parishes are stronger and more dynamic as we work toward Christ’s “Great Commission” in Matthew 28:19 to: “make disciples of all nations.” We are working diligently to develop and share a comprehensive strategic plan at our Clergy Laity Assembly in June, 2015 in Columbia, South Carolina. Feel free to share this information (and web link) and check back regularly to see our work in progress as we assemble a consensus for an exciting new vision for the future of the Metropolis of Atlanta and its Parishes as integral and vibrant parts of the Holy Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios, and the entire Strategic Planning Committee of the Metropolis of Atlanta, are pleased to make available the final Strategic Plan. This link is to the printer’s proof version that is currently being typeset and printed:
