Three Goals

Here is a radical idea!

All staff members must accept three major goals. The first goal is the number of new disciples that will be brought to Jesus under their respective ministries. Setting this as the primary goal, makes outward focus everyone’s responsibility, from the person leading the nursery staff to those responsible for assimilating new people. It also creates an environment of outreach that leads staff to be creative in reaching new people, whether adults or children. The second goal is the number of new people that each staff member will train to be involved in his or her ministry each year. Congregations grow in proportion to the number of leaders and groups that are developed. The third goal is specific numbers or percentages by which that staff member’s ministry will grow during the year. Almost no one is exempt from these goals.
