From 2005 to 2008, the Synod developed a Strategic Plan. For this plan, all levels of the church were involved through surveys, meetings and consultations. The findings can be summarized in six points:
| 1. | Over the last 20 years, the Synod has grown tremendously: from 20 congregations and 3 departments in the 1980s to 170 congregations and about 20 departments in 2010. |
| 2. | Because of this growth the church has to increase its efforts to give good Bible teaching and pastoral care to all its members. |
| 3. | This increase in teaching and pastoral care requires a bigger number of well trained ministers and lay leaders. However, currently the Synod´s approach to training its leaders is not systematic. |
| 4. | The growth of the Synod means also that the departments have to increase the number and size of their development projects to reach the communities around all the congregations. |
| 5. | The increased demand for teaching and development requires more financial resources. The church is struggling to increase the resources mobilized from its members as well as from external partners. |
| 6. | The growth of budgets and the number of financial transactions requires improved financial management and reporting. The existing financial systems are in many cases not capable of consistent and timely reporting. |
In response to these findings, the Strategic Plan 2010-2016 identifies 12 strategic priority areas. In the first phase, the implementation focuses on 4 of these:
| 1. | We will help you grow spiritually. |
| 2. | We will give you well-trained leaders. |
| 3. | We will help you raise money in creative ways. |
| 4. | We will report transparently how the money was used. |
