Deep dives

The Importance of Strategic Planning

Strategic planning plays a crucial role in the long-term health and impact of a church. By clarifying the aim and prioritizing what's most important, churches can go beyond the urgent and focus on what truly matters. While pastors may seek a silver bullet solution, strategic planning emphasizes the aim part of "ready, aim, fire" before taking action. It helps churches identify their core ministry approaches, evaluate their mission field, and align their organizational structure to their strategy. Strategic planning is essential for churches to move beyond what's urgent and work towards long-term health and impact.
