A church's reflection about its destiny often is most effective during the period between pastorates. For fifteen years, American Baptist Churches have used a printed form, 'Church Self-Study of Goals and Leadership Needs', to aid this reflection process. The purpose of this project was to rewrite the form for the American Baptist Personnel Services. Information was gained from persons directly acquainted with the document. These resources included search committees, executive ministers, area ministers and pastors. Data from each participating group was gathered and analyzed to form the background for the new document of church reflection. The new form discusses the disciplined and guided thought which takes place when a church deliberately looks at itself -- its being, belief, function and mission. It focuses specifically on church self-study, the preparation of a church's vision for ministry and the search for pastoral leadership according to that vision.
