Member vs. Mission
The ParishVision LLC Model © guides parishes from a member focus to a mission focus. This directs engaged parishioners into fulfilling the parish mission through their ministry activities. The table below shows the difference between a member focus and a true mission focus.
| Member Focus | Mission Focus |
| Members are primary | Mission is primary |
| Organized for status-quo | Organized for growth |
| Low level of fully engaged parishioners | High level of fully engaged parishioners |
| What do I receive? | How do I contribute? |
| Adult catechesis secondary | Adult catechesis primary |
| Unengaged / unchurched are tolerated | Unengaged / unchurched are targeted |
| Small Christian groups are present | Small Christian groups are primary |
| Program orientation fragments mission | Unifying process to focus mission |
