"Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious -- the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse." (Phi. 4:8, The Message)

The above scripture, taken from Paul's letter to the Philippians, captures perfectly the philosophy and approach of Appreciative Inquiry (AI). If your congregation has had enough with bad news, then perhaps it's time to celebrate what's right. Perhaps it's time to take a strength-based approach to transformational change.

That's what Appreciative Inquiry can do for a congregation. By involving as many stakeholders as possible in an engaging and enjoyable process of discovering the best of what is, dreaming of what might be, and designing the strategies to make it so, AI unleashes surprising new creativity, energy, and forward momentum. AI enables congregations to fulfill their destiny.
