Our 2026–2031 Strategic Plan
A five-year roadmap for fulfilling our commission to win and prepare souls for the imminent return of Jesus Christ.
Emmasdale Seventh-day Adventist Church has developed a Strategic Plan running from 2026 to 2031. This document provides a road map for executing our commission in harmony with the global Adventist movement and the Three Angels' Messages of Revelation 14:6–12.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we focus on four strategic priorities: Communion with God, Identity in Christ, Unity through the Holy Spirit, and Mission for all.
God calls each member to lovingly proclaim the everlasting gospel using the spiritual gifts He has given. The Church Board reviews progress bi-annually through a structured monitoring and evaluation program.
