Gap Summary & Findings
With nine of ten members responding, this board reflects the heart and operational identity of Movement of Faith Ministries — a community-rooted, service-first congregation with meaningful commitment and meaningful connections. The primary gaps are concentrated in technical nonprofit disciplines directly tied to the Ministry Campus vision and long-term funding goals. Addressing these gaps through strategic recruitment is the next critical step.
✓ Strengths
- Pastor Vickers carries board-level SME strength across Governance, Finance, Fundraising, HR, Community, and Real Estate
- Lester Ward commits 160 hours per month [highest capacity on the board] and brings two activatable external ministry partnerships
- Shirley Ann McCaster is an SME in Marketing and Community Engagement with three active external partnerships and 20 hrs/month available
- Brian McCaster is an SME in both Technology and Communications
- Shakedria Burton-Obongo is an SME in Fundraising and brings operational discipline (records, scheduling, logistics) directly relevant to compliance
- Imani Johnson and Lenard Johnson both bring finance and audit strength; together they form a solid financial sub-team
- Donna Allen brings SME-level strength in Governance, Audit, Fundraising, Major Gifts, Marketing, HR, Community, and Technology
- Nine of ten members are comfortable making fundraising asks or providing donor stewardship
- Multiple Walmart contacts and a K-Love Radio relationship represent untapped sponsorship and media assets
⚠ Critical Gaps
- Grant Readiness & Management: No SME on the board; the most consequential gap given Ministry Campus funding goals and program expansion
- Legal & Contracts: No board-level legal expertise; critical as the organization pursues land acquisition, leases, and capital development agreements
- Audit Readiness & Internal Controls: Thin across most members outside Imani Johnson; high risk as the organization scales financially
- Corporate Partnerships: Informal relationships exist but no board member with formal corporate development experience to build a sustainable pipeline
- Real Estate & Lease Strategy: Critical gap given the Ministry Campus land acquisition vision; only Pastor Vickers and Lenard Johnson show meaningful strength here
- Major Gifts & Donor Stewardship: Board-wide weakness beyond introductions; no structured donor cultivation capacity
→ Priority Recruitment Areas
- Grants Professional: Single highest-impact board addition; Ministry Campus and program expansion depend on grant readiness now
- Attorney or Legal Professional: Land acquisition, leases, contracts, and capital development all require board-level legal strength
- CPA or Audit Specialist: Financial credibility with funders and capital lenders requires board-level audit and controls expertise
- Corporate Partnership Developer: To formalize and expand the informal corporate connections the board already holds
- Real Estate Professional: Ministry Campus vision requires strategic guidance from someone with land, zoning, and facilities expertise in Bell County
◌ Governance Note
- All 10 board members have submitted their intake forms. This is the complete board inventory for Movement of Faith Ministries as of May 2026.
- Donna Allen's addition moved Governance, Major Gifts, Community Engagement, and Marketing from Gap to Adequate. Grant Readiness and Legal remain the two most urgent recruitment priorities.
