Short form Ministry Action Plans (MAPs) make strategy and goal-setting purposeful and concise. MAPs are vision clarification and strategy planning on a few sheets of paper and the goal is K.I.S.S.: Keep it short and simple. Short form components include:

• Step 1 – Job Description
• Step 2 – Position Guidelines (PGs)
• Step 3 – Personal Ministry Action Plan (MAP)
• Step 4 – Regular Coaching
  
  

The third part of short form strategy planning lists ministry gaps and strategy-driven goals for each worker. Ministry Action Plans include:

• Ministry Vision – Why does your ministry exist and how does it accomplish our mission and vision using our strategy?
• Ministry Gap Assessment – What’s missing and what’s needed to achieve a growing, vision-aligned, healthy ministry?
• Leader/Volunteer Recruitment – Growing ministries require more leaders and volunteers. What’s your leadership development plan?
• SMART Ministry Goals – Goals provide a finish line and help you stay on track. How will you grow from x to y and how long will it take?
  • Measurement – How will you know you’ve succeeded?
  • Target Date – When do you anticipate reaching your goal?
  • Time Allocation (%) – How much time will you spend working on this goal?
  • Results – What happened? Did you achieve your goal? Fall short? Overachieve?
  • Comments/Notes – Provide further information as needed.
