Craft compelling vision messages that inspire your congregation to see God’s preferred future for your church. This prompt helps you articulate clear, memorable vision statements and develop messages that mobilize people toward unified action and purpose.

Create a vision casting message for our church with these details:

Church context: [e.g., "125-member suburban church, been here 8 years, established but need fresh direction"]
Current reality: [e.g., "Good people, solid teaching, but plateaued growth and lacking clear direction"]
Vision direction: [e.g., "Becoming a church that reaches young families in our community" or "Launching multisite ministry"]
Timeframe: [e.g., "3-year vision" or "5-year strategic direction"]
Audience: [e.g., "Sunday morning congregation" or "Leadership team meeting" or "Annual vision dinner"]
