Ministry Self Audit: Purpose

This is the first week of a three week series on how to grow your ministry or cause through the process of self-auditing. Throughout this series, you will discover areas you can improve in your full or lay leadership role.

Your purpose is why you and your team exist to support your local church. Think of your purpose as the lens in which your team should view everything that they do and don’t do. Your vision is a picture of the result. Purpose helps decision; vision ignites passion.

Does your team have a short, easy to remember purpose?
Having a short purpose or mantra will help keep everyone focused and prevent going the wrong direction.

Does your team have a vision that paints the future of where your team is going?
Painting a vision helps motivate when things get busy or difficult.

Are you filtering your team’s tasks through your purpose and vision and rejecting things that don’t fit your team?
Saying ‘no’ to opportunities that may be interesting but won’t contribute to your team’s purpose is a critical discipline for every leader.
