In the book Mission Drift, HOPE International’s president and CEO, Peter Greer, and vice president of development, Chris Horst, tackle the question of why so many organizations, including churches, wander from their mission, while others remain Mission True. Can drift be prevented? To learn more and order the book, visit the Mission Drift website.
This 6-part video series, produced by RightNow Media, captures Peter Greer talking through the key points of Mission Drift. These videos can be used as an introduction to the topic and to prompt group discussions on how your church or organization can stay Mission True.
Building on the research and indicators discussed in the book Mission Drift, Mission True Assessments evaluate an organization’s likelihood of staying faithful to the intention of its founding mission, operationally and spiritually. The assessment reviews guiding policies, practices, and outcomes in the areas of mission, strategy, human resources, operations, management, governance, and supporters. These two documents provide an overview of the assessment and of the assessment process.
