What would the financial and development plan look like? While answering the last question, Bennet Woods stated that one of the first things that we needed to do was to formulate a strategy and an immediate one that would emerge and help in evaluating all the assets that the congregation had. This could be divided into two categories, the physical assets of property and the assets of members of the congregation. This would refers to what their gifts and graces would on a personal level and how that could help the church ministry. This being said, we would know from the case study the size of the building and when it was last renovated but we would need to be checking in to make sure that there was not anything that could …show more content…
We would obtain this information through various avenues. The size of the congregation and the number in our team would be beneficial because there would not be too many congregants, while there would be enough staff that we could break up, who would tackle all the congregation at once or, we could break them up and assign a few members of our team to interview all the congregants either through home visits or meals with the congregants. The congregants’ interviews would be two fold, to first ask them what they thought about strengths of the congregation and, what they thought the congregation could bring to the community. The second would be getting to know the congregants on an individual basis so that we could ascertain their level of involvement, their gifts and graces. Another avenue to find these things could be a survey similar to what I have seen it in some congregations. Bennet stated that it be volunteering with different ideas, for new ministries and, seeing what people would be willing to help with. Not only would we use these forms and interviews to find out what they would be willing to help with, but more important would be to learn what they would be in need of. We would need to remember that a congregation would be at the top of priorities and so there ought to be
Pastor Fred Dyess had retired after serving as pastor for thirty years and Director of Missions for the Baptist Association of Greater New Orleans for fourteen years. The Lord called him out of retirement to start a new church. Bro. Fred checked with the Eastern Louisiana Baptist Association Director of Missions, David Brown, to learn what areas the association had targeted for a new church and what was needed. He was told that the Louisiana Baptist Convention required a new church to have a sponsoring church. Dr. Roger Dunlap and Macedonia Baptist Church gladly voted to be our sponsoring church. The Louisiana Baptist Convention and the Eastern Louisiana Baptist Association each gave Victory a budget supplement of $500 per month decreasing
I joined the staff of the Carolina Missionary Baptist Church in March 2002 as a church administrator. My first major responsibility was to complete the development and construction of the Family Life Center. Although, I had worked on development projects in another County before, I had not actually managed the construction of a building and certainly did not know the process in Prince George’s County Maryland where the church is currently located. There was an enormous amount of knowledge for me to gain. My first assignment was to develop a detailed plan. The initial undertaking in the plan was to learn the Construction process.
The organization strategic plan consists of addressing clinical quality, growth, and becoming a larger part of the community, and providing long term value. The annual report states the following strategic goals (Bon Secours, 2012):
As part of the office staff at my church, I would draft letters to inform the church members of upcoming events and I would create programs that will allow the members to follow along with the Pastor as he's speaking. I would also keep a record of each members' donations and would mail their report to them at the end of the year for their tax records.
Hillcrest Baptist Church is a body of believers located in a small mid-west city that has experienced double-digit growth for the past nine years. Over the course of the last forty-two years, God has allowed only three senior pastors to serve. The longevity of the pastorates contributes to the strong lay leadership and positive community reputation. On the surface, Hillcrest appears very healthy. A survey of the average congregants would record this overall disposition. Numerical growth and vibrant services contribute to the attitude of satisfaction. Contrariwise, the systems and structure of the organization pose a serious threat to the continuation of expansion and vitality.
The Church I selected to evaluate is called Parkview Christian Church. Furthermore, both Churches before their inception the founder's sort guidance from God above to reach people for Christ. The concept of the Tinley Park Church of Christ (currently name Parkview Christian Church) originated in 1948 with two women on a train headed to Chicago. These two women discussed and prayed about how they could be a part of God’s plan to implement the lords work in their community. Later, after they arrive at their destination started a prayer assembly that kept expanding. Consequently, due to their increase in membership on “April 15, 1951” they formed a storefront church called Tinley Park Church of Christ (currently Parkview Christian Church). Moreover,
What are the national demographics of your community? Who lives here? What are their hurts? What are their dreams? Where do they spend their time? What is the mission to serve community? What steps is the church taking to fulfill its mission to serve the community? Who have you built relationship with who do you desire to build relationship with? Within the next 3, 5, 10 years where do you
After reading the lecture notes church structure chart, I would say that my church falls between the attractional and organic view of small groups. We have an amazing new building that has a “come and see” feel; but, we also believe in relational missional groups that go out in the community. We believe that all gifts are needed in the body of Christ. We believe in forward movement, so we do count people and dollars. But our real success is measured in life change. We have a large budget that supports the staff and property, but a large portion of that budget
The longer-range objective is to seek God for how many members to accommodate in the new facility and do an evaluation of the “Fish or Cut Bait” outreach to see if it is beneficial to the community.
On March 11th, 2016 Melrose Minnesota suffered a tragic event. Melrose’s 119 year-old St. Mary’s Church started on fire. That night many people gathered around the church in tears watching as the fire-fighters worked to put the fire out. It was later released that the church fire was arson. Ever since that day, the Melrose community has been trying to work together to come up with a solution for what they should do with the church. The two big ideas are restoring the current structure to what it once has been or tearing it down and building a completely new modern church. There has been multiple meetings, where community members have voiced their opinions, yet nothing has been done to the church. Since there has been so much fuss and chaos
As stated earlier, the fact that religious healthcare is a non-profit making organization, there is every reason of considering the fact that there are other similar institutions in the market. Therefore, completion is a factor that can be looked at deeply. The organization then needs to focus on the following three performance dimensions (Mair, & Wood, 1976).

Ask, "What do we need? Are there repairs which will be necessary? Is there equipment to purchase? What do we want to see happen through the church this year?" Based upon last
The development of start-ups is an important business activity that requires effort, time, and financial resources. It is important to correctly establish the resources that are required by opening a business in order to be able to successfully reach the objectives established for businesses in each situation. In this case, the business plan refers to developing a restaurant that focuses on providing meals that are based on organic foods.
There are (3) reasons why I have chosen energy drinks as my NAB. First off, there is a growing market for energy drinks. Red Bull and Monster Beverage Corporation, together, form over 80% of domestic energy drinks volumes by estimates. Dollar sales for energy drinks grew almost 6% to $6.67 Billion in measured channels in 2013, which propelled sales growth for convenience stores (Team, 2014). A growing thirst for caffeinated “energy” drinks, which include the likes of Red Bull, Monster, and Rock star, has spurred a heart-thumping surge in sales. Globally, the energy drink industry has gone from a $3.8-billion business in 1999, to a $27.5-billion
