Annual Action Priorities (AAP) for the 25 – 26 church year

After feedback from leadership this year we are shifting our “Vision of Ministry” to “Annual Action Priorities” in an effort to bring clarity and focus to our shared ministry work. 

The three priorities that we will be directing our energy towards are:

AAP 25-26 #1: Live our 25-26 fiscal reality

• Description: To create an amended revenue and spending plan for 25-26 by December 1, 2025 and implement through June 30, 2026.

 AAP 25-26 #2: Increase relevance and UU values visibility within our programming 

• Description: To focus our ministry work on the current needs of our community in light of current events and in a way that clearly demonstrates our UU values.

AAP 25-26 #3: Strengthen congregational ownership

• Description: To develop and implement approaches and programming that increase the congregations engagement in FUSIT activities and leadership.
