Our PARADIGM

What is a PARADIGM? An example of serving as a pattern.

How we see things and what we allow our minds to comprehend. Following the normal flow and pattern of what we do with the usual expectations.

Three Keys To Success

PURPOSE … is the divine plan of God for your ministry and calling. What you are to do?

VISION … is the godly reality of things not yet materialized.

MISSION … is the divine method and the carrying out of the purpose & vision of God.

Mission Statement

Each Ministry/Church must have a clearly defined

Mission Statement which covers your purpose

along with your short-term as well as long-term

goals.

This Statement should illustrate the Direction

of your ministry.

What is your Focus? Where is it heading/going?

Effective Goal Setting

Goals should relate to the purposes of the organization (internal and external). Goals must be realistic. Goals should be measurable. Goals need to be claimed by someone. Goals need to be supported by a plan. Goals must be supported by the necessary resources. Goals need a date of completion.

Commitments of Leadership

Commitment to GOD of Christ(Foundation)

Commitment to BODY of Christ(Support)

Commitment to WORK of Christ

(Operation)

Qualities of A Good Leader

Help Carry The Load…Become A Sounding Board…Possess A Leadership Mindset…Attract Potential Leaders…Not Threatened By People With

Great Potential…Mentors Other Potential Leaders..

Why the need for Economic Development?

Jesus speaks in Matthew 25:31-46

There are Questions from your Community

Can I fit into your church? Acceptance

Will people want to know me? Fellowship

Am I needed in your church? Value

Why should I join your church? Benefit

What are the requirements? Expectation

Define Your Target

Jesus defines his target (market) to his disciples bydeclaring, “For the Son of man is come to seek and

to save that which was lost.” Matthew 18:11 / Luke 19:10

Who are you here to assist and in what way are

you prepared to help them, meet their needs?

What measures are you willing to go?

In Defining Your Target

Educational Make-up and Needs...

Economical Make-up and Needs...

Occupational Make-up and Needs...

Ethnicity Make-up...

Interacting with your

TARGET

Take the gospel to your community.

Do not Alienate your community.

Look to Receive your community.

Attempt to Grow your community.

You must Evaluate your community.

Deliver Treatment to your community.

Interacting with your

TARGET

Taking the gospel involves ministry and economic development that acts as speaks. (The Word, Clothing, Feeding, Etc.)

Maybe our programs, services and activities Alienate people rather than draw them.

Do we Receive people or are we difficult to fellowship with.

Interacting with your

TARGET

Are we Growing our community or are we growing apart from them.

Have we Evaluated our community so that there is sensitivity & understanding of them.

Have we prescribed the proper Treatment or medicine to our community.

COUNTING UP THE COST

Vision to minister to Masses necessitates Pro-vision...– Tithes/Offerings– Grants (Government/Business)– Conventional and SBA Loans– Sponsorships (Corporate/Individual)– Endowments– Insurance Legacies

Summary

MINISTRY BEYOND THE WALLS must begin with an expansion of creativity within the leadership.

It is impossible for the laity to move the ministry beyond the capacity of its leadership.

Summary

Leadership must receive the Vision from the Lord, however, the pew must be motivated to work in bringing the Vision to pass.

MINISTRY BEYOND THE WALLS will only occur when...

Leadership is able to receive the gifts and talents given to the church and then maximize their benefits to the needs of its members and its extended communities.
