Vision Canvas

One cascade. Every
ministry connected to it.

Mission and vision aren't a slide from last year's retreat. In Ekko they're a living structure — and every ministry's own goals connect back to it, all the way down to what's planned this quarter.

One Canvas, Multiple Views

The same screen, whether you're leading the church or one ministry.

Switch the view and the canvas reshapes — church-wide goals at the top, or one ministry's own cascade underneath its leader's name.

Ekko Vision Canvas — one ministry's own view

A church-wide North Star goal

The Real Problem

Vision sets the direction. Nobody wires it to the goals.

Most churches write a mission and vision statement once, present it once, and then every ministry quietly goes back to setting its own goals — with no structural link back to any of it.

Ekko's Vision Canvas is a real, connected structure instead: North Star Goals cascade into 3-Year Vision, into this year's goals, into quarterly priorities — and each ministry's own goals attach directly onto the church's.

Grafting

How a ministry's goal actually connects to the church's.

Every ministry keeps its own vision — it isn't forced into the church's language. It just grafts its top goal onto one of the church's, on purpose, with a rating for how strongly it moves it.

🌿

Set the ministry's own goal

A ministry's 3-year vision or annual goals — in their own words, for their own team.

🎯

Choose the church goal it serves

One click grafts it onto a real church-wide goal — never guessed at, never left implicit.

●●●

Rate how strongly it moves it

Strong, moderate, or weak — so leadership can see real weight, not just a checkbox.

Ekko also asks each ministry a few quick questions up front — how far out it plans, how often it resets — and shapes that ministry's own canvas to fit. A support department and a mission ministry don't plan the same way, and Ekko doesn't pretend they should.

The Payoff

See the whole thread — not just the top of it.

Every church-wide goal shows, at a glance, which ministries are actually carrying it — and which ones nobody has grafted onto yet.
