Taking Ministry to the Next Level

Taking Ministry to the Next Level

• Evaluating Ministry

Evaluating Ministries

• The 301 team has been given the responsibility
  for evaluating ministries
• We as a team believe that ministries should
  evaluate themselves.
• The purpose of this presentation is to help
  ministries begin that process.

Evaluation Begins with a Yardstick by which to
measure
4
3 Possible Yardsticks to Use

• The spiritual climate of our team meetings
• The leadership task to develop people to do the
  task effectively
• The community task accomplishing tasks together

5
Do a Self-Evaluation
6
Spiritual Climate

• We pray before the meeting starts.
• I feel like we genuinely invite the Lord to our
  meetings.
• The members of my team are aware that the Holy
  Spirit is present in our meetings.
• My team members and I believe that what we are
  doing is part of the very work of God and that He
  has asked us to do this task.

7
Spiritual Climate

• We stop pray during the meetings if the task
  just seems too big or if conflict or disagreement
  is present.
• We have occasional devotionals or Bible verses to
  encourage us, teach us and help us with our task.

8
Spiritual Climate

• We see God at work in our tasks.
• We celebrate together over Gods answers to
  prayers about our task.
• We pray to close our meetings.

9
Leadership Climate

• My group has a shared vision about our task.
• We set yearly goals for our team.
• My team knows our calendar and budget for the
  year.
• We set aside time during the year for training of
  some kind that will help us do our job better.

10
Leadership Climate

• I know the gifts, abilities and experiences of
  the people on our team.
• Everyone is contributing their gifts, abilities
  and experiences to our task.

11
Leadership Climate

• We are effectively accomplishing the task we have
  been given.
• We are adding new people to our team
• I am working to develop each person on the team.

12
Leadership Climate

• I am developing new leaders.
• I delegate effectively.

13
Community Climate

• I am doing too much of the work myself.
• I tend to make the decisions and then ask the
  group to ok them.
• I am open to new ideas and approaches.

14
Community Climate

• I try to include other peoples ideas and help
  them get implemented as well as my own.
• We have a large group that is broken down into
  smaller groups so that informal mentoring and
  care can happen

15
Community Climate

• Our group knows each others spiritual stories.
• New people are added, welcomed, trained and
  assimilated
• We celebrate the tasks we have accomplished
  together
• We encourage each other.

16
Resistance to Change

• Almost all of us feel resistance to change when
  it is first suggested. Why?
• True or false If we do nothing, we can keep
  change from happening.

17
Take an Attitude Check

• Ive been running this ministry for a long time
  and I dont need anyone else to tell me how to do
  it.
• We dont have enough time to get done what we
  need to get done as it is, without adding all
  this extra stuff.
• Doesnt matter we dont have enough money for
  our ministry as it is.

18
Take an Attitude Check

• I cant even get them to come to the meetings
  much less get them involved in the work.
• Ive asked for people and no one is interested in
  being on the team.

19
Take an Attitude Check

• I didnt know I had to do all this when I signed
  up.
• Im just not a leader.
