Corporate Training
Fulfilling a church’s mission requires taking the time to develop a strategy, planning the steps to get it done and management of the process. Implementing church strategy takes focus! KTM can guide you through the 5 most effective steps to implementing an effective church strategy:
1. Vision, Mission, and Values:
KTM will guide you through a clear process to clarify and be able to communicate why the ministry exists (mission) and what it is trying to accomplish (vision).
2. Strategic Plan:
Get help brainstorming to actualize what that future state of the ministry looks like and map out the necessary short- and long-term steps to achieve the ministry’s mission and vision. We will assist you with establishing specific timelines for the completion of objectives and determine how many weeks, months or years it will realistically take to complete those goals.
We provide needed information to write legally sound individual (or volunteer) job descriptions and goals by department and function.
3. Organizational Goals:
Church goals should be written at the organizational level as the first step in strategic implementation. This step helps to ensure that what staff are doing day-to-day, lines up with the vision and goals of the organization, and keeps leaders focused on church priorities. Our structured process will include a cycle that begins with writing goals, communicating expectations, monitoring success toward goals, assessing performance measurements:
Example: Year 1 Annual Church Goals
- Increase weekly attendance by 10% (e.g., 10% growth in regular attendance and membership).
- Increase volunteers and participation by 20%
- Decrease operating expenses by 15%.
- Increase giving by 15%.
4. Departmental Goals:
Develop a reliable set of processes, standards and expectations supported by an effective and efficient organizational structure.
5. Performance Appraisals and Conflict Management:
- Reduce inefficiencies across all aspects of your church and improve communication. Workplace methods of “grading” people do not work in church environments. Get help in learning how to manage and better approach “people performance”.
- Gain perspective on how to assess character competence, chemistry and culture on your staff team.
