Full Circle Ministry Planning Workshop: Full Circle Ministry Planning
Embark on a new ministry journey: Pray for guidance, craft a strategic plan, identify needs, assemble a dedicated team, recruit volunteers, embrace change, and replace the old.
Start with Prayer
We want to always begin our journey with prayer. Seek divine guidance and wisdom as you lead your ministry through the discernment process and through the changes. Prayer provides strength and inspiration, helping you to navigate this new era of ministry.
Making a Plan
The importance of having a clear plan cannot be overstated. Your plan should encompass your ministry's vision, mission, and specific objectives. Consider strategies for adapting to the shifting landscape, whether it's reimagining community outreach or implementing innovative approaches.
Identifying Needs
Let's identify what your ministry needs to thrive in this ever-evolving environment. It could be technology, additional staff training, or financial resources to invest in new initiatives. Knowing your needs will help ensure your plan is both realistic and attainable.
Involving the Right People
You can't do this alone. Gather a team of dedicated individuals who share your vision and bring a range of skills to the table. Your team might include staff members, volunteers, or experts in areas like technology, marketing, or event planning.
Volunteer Recruitment
Volunteers are the lifeblood of any ministry. Determine how many volunteers you'll need to support your initiatives. Consider their skillsets, availability, and how they can contribute to your ministry's growth. Provide training and clear roles and responsibilities for your volunteers.
Embracing Change and Replacing the Old
Reflect on the necessity of change. Are you implementing new practices because old ones no longer serve your ministry effectively in this evolving landscape? Be open to replacing outdated processes or traditions that no longer align with your goals or your community's needs. Recruit volunteers from any ministry you are considering retiring. Get them involved and on board with the new vision.
To assist you on this journey, we're excited to offer our "Vision Planning Guide for Ministries." This comprehensive resource provides a step-by-step approach to developing a strategic vision for your ministry, setting clear objectives, and effectively implementing your plan.
Don't miss this opportunity to lead your ministry to new heights in this evolving world. Embrace change, lead with purpose, and watch your ministry flourish.
