The Unification Project: A Compelling “Roadmap” for Independent Churches to Celebrate Their Diversity While Coming Together for Joint Efforts

Adam Hirschy | 2019

Abstract

The Unification Project presents a values roadmap for Spirit and faith-filled independent churches across Iowa to come together for joint efforts through collaboration. Through coming together, the churches can solve problems and ignite a passionate unified plan to become relevant once again in the state. The project incorporates local church assessments to determine current and preferred future values and culture. Cumulative results determine the status of current and future statewide preferred values and culture among respondents. Aligning value forces creates opportunity for like churches to consider joint efforts. Consideration of value force dynamics reveal issues for those working with “like” churches. Greater long-term opportunity is available to those churches who understand their values forces yet collaborate with churches different from them. Church diversity is celebrated. Coming together through understanding each other’s value diversity allows the strengths of one church to complement the weaknesses of another. This unity also brings glory to God.
