## A Stocktake of St. Thomas' Church

We need to take stock of where we are as a church, in terms of our fustainability.

There are different ways of looking at sustainability: missional, congregational, financial, ministerial.

For each, we should consider: **S**trengths, **W**eaknesses, **O**pportunities, **T**hreats

### Missional sustainability

(looking at our mission as a parish: schools, community, evangelism)

**S**trengths

**W**eaknesses

**O**pportunities

**T**hreats

### Financial sustainability

(looking at our finances and cash-flow; short, medium, and long-term)

**S**trengths

**W**eaknesses

**O**pportunities

**T**hreats

### Congregational sustainability

(looking at our congregational size, age profile, and volunteers)

**S**trengths

**W**eaknesses

**O**pportunities

**T**hreats

### Ministerial sustainability

(do we have clergy / ministers to conduct services, now and in the future)

**S**trengths

**W**eaknesses

**O**pportunities

**T**hreats
