Strategic Planning for Church and Ministry

If you are struggling with any of the following problems or questions, this book, Church and Ministry Strategic Planning, may be very important to you. Why is there so much confusion among our associate pastors on what we are trying to accomplish? Why is there so much dissension and disagreement in this church? Why is there such a high turnover of people in our church, especially in leadership positions? Why did we build that building when it is not being used? As a pastor, why am I working 12 hours a day, and can never keep up? Why have we failed on a number of projects and missions? Why did God let us down? Why is the Devil stopping us? Why have the elders asked me to resign after everything I have put into this church or ministry? Why does this church lack enthusiasm? If you are wrestling with one of these questions, the answer might be that your church or ministry lacks good long-term strategic planning. Part of strategic planning is the team building approach of developing leaders and involving people in the plan. The problem with life is . . . Life is a great journey through places and times, but some go through it without a map or guide! Life is a journey. Let the Bible be your map. Let God be your guide, and you shall never stray from the path. - Roscoe William Migliore
