Sometimes our ministries show signs of being unhealthy, but these six steps to healthy ministry can help you as a leader make changes to heal what is diseased.
Think about our health0conscious American culture. According to studies, apparently most of us disregard what we know to be true about being and staying healthy. We’re a country of overeaters and overachievers–both of which are detrimental to our health.
Could it be that your ministry or church is behaving like our culture is? There are endless books and articles about building healthy churches and ministries, but leaders often disregard the advice—and for good reason.
Why do we disregard that information?
First, the amount of information can make it overwhelming to navigate. And second, starting a new ministry is much easier than recreating what’s already in place because that involves change, a difficult hurdle to cross.
Implementing the six steps to healthy ministry will help you build a culture that impacts the women whom you serve.
BOW is here to help ministry leadership move through six steps as they seek God’s guidance in prayer. Each step is too involved to explain in this one post, so connect to the link in order to understand more about the whys and hows.
- Define the ministry purpose
- Focus the strategy
- Communicate the vision
- Build a simple organization
- Train leadership
- Evaluate results
If you need a restart of your current ministry (this can be an entire women’s ministry or one area of it), begin by evaluating it. Then reassess each step to discover the underlying problems. Finally, determine how to address them to build healthy ministry.
Implement these six steps to healthy ministry and discover the difference being healthy makes.
If your women’s ministry is non-existent or failing to make a real difference in discipling the women of your church, contact us for further help.
