Spiritual management is required for spiritual organization, and
yet a ministry's master plan should be the Master's plan for that
ministry. Church and Ministry Strategic Planning assists readers in
developing a Biblically based blueprint for carrying out the many
activities in which the church or ministry is involved. The authors
show clearly how careful planning is inspired by the Scriptures
("Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit
down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to
complete it?"--Luke 14:28) and how it improves making decisions
today which ultimately affect the ministry's effectiveness
tomorrow.Church and Ministry Strategic Planning covers all areas of
this type of planning and can be read and reviewed quickly. Through
the use of a model of the strategic planning process, the authors
show how to develop mission statements, define strategic
objectives, develop strategy options and operating strategies,
appraise performance, and monitor strategic planning. Readers are
led step-by-step through these key areas of creating a strategic
plan. Examples and worksheets at the end of each chapter enable
pastors, administrators, and lay leaders to develop a strategic
plan fitting to their specific ministry or church. The appendixes
provide tools used in planning as well as a complete sample
strategic plan for a large church. Put these concepts to immediate
use in decisionmaking and pursue God's purpose and vision for the
church or ministry. If readers take the time and effort to study
this book, apply its format, and prayerfully keep God in every step
of the plan, here is what the authors believe plan administrators
can expect:1. A sense of enthusiasm in the church or ministry 2. A
5-year plan in writing to which everyone is committed 3. A sense of
commitment by the entire church to its overall direction 4. Time
for the leaders to do what they have been called to do 5. Clear job
duties and responsibilities 6. Clear and evident improvement in the
health and vitality of every member of the church staff 7.
Measurable improvement in the personal lives of all those in
responsible positions with time for vacations, family, and personal
pursuits 8.The ability to measure very specifically, the growth and
contribution made by senior pastors or evangelists at the close of
their careers 9. Guaranteed leadership of the church or ministry
because a plan is in place--in writing--and is understood. Even
more importantly, a management team and philosophy will be in place
to guide the church or ministry into its next era of growthExplore
this Biblical perspective on planning and develop a strategic plan
that is systematic and continuous and allows the church or ministry
to assess its market position, establish goals, objectives,
priorities, and strategies to be completed within specified time
periods, achieve greater staff and member commitment and teamwork
aimed at meeting challenges and solving problems, and muster its
resources to meet these changes through anticipation.
