Imagining Church

We're trying to think through values for our new venture at the moment. Having recently been through an interminably tedious process for coming up with a vision statement and objectives for another organisation I'm determined to try and make this as painless as possible. I'm being helped in the process by thinking through useful questions. The website Prodigal Kiwi not only asks these great questions:-

Key Questions – the responses to which will sit as part of the core of who we are as a distinctive Christian community.
Who are we as a church in this context?
Why are we here?
Where is God at work?
What will define us as a church?
What will be our character and distinctives?
Our values and virtues?
What is it that we are called to be and do in this place?
What is it that we will tend, protect, and nourish in this place?
Who is God for those in this place where we are?
What is Gospel in this place where we are?

but also has some references to Celtic Monasticism which is also having a significant influence at the moment. I'm thinking that "uncertain, risky and hopeful" has got to be in the mix somewhere. Also had a study day recently with Michael Moynagh from Fresh Expressions who asked the following questions when thinking about principles for starting "Fresh Expressions"

What are your values?
Who will you serve? - churched, fringed, unchurched?
What key people do you need?
What will work? What do people want?
Loving service rather than a worship service?
How will you introduce a spiritual dimension - at the start or later?
How will you sustain the venture?
How will everyone be held to account?
Are your expectations realistic?
Will we take the risk?

Questions, questions, questions - just got to find some answers..
