To have effective ministry and mission it encompasses multiple things. To start, it is so important to have a clear mission and vision. Like it is in business. By having these things, it can keep the church on track with its values and beliefs making sure it meets its long-term goals and objectives. These long-term goals could be things like making sure God’s love is being continually spread/shown and that the church is being true with their intentions. This will help keeping the church on track and can motivate and inspire those involved. Additionally, it is also important to plan for the future through strategic planning. For anything to be successful and be able to have an advantage this needs to be done. So, in order to stay on track with the vision these strategic plans will help you get there and stay with it. This is done by the values, objectives, strategies, tactics, and different action steps set by the church. If both of these concepts are taken into account and used the ministry will be headed in the right direction.
Also, I think it is very important to be adaptable and be able to innovate. The world is always changing, and we have to adapt to be able to reach people. For instance, at this moment, the younger generation is so tech savvy so in order to reach them churches should adapt to online platforms. A lot of churches have adapted to online platforms in order to reach more people. This has become a huge thing and with that a lot of people are attending churches they wouldn’t attend otherwise. Churches should continue to be innovative in order to engage with new people and be able to spread the word of God.
