Personal Growth Plans

From your Day of Prayer and Vision Journal (or your notes), make a list of personal and ministry goals you have sensed that the Lord wants you to accomplish. Some will be long-range and others more immediate. In some cases, developing this list may involve others (your ministry team, your spouse - someone with whom you work closely).

Personal

Long range goals for growth and development

Write a brief statement about the future roles and responsibilities in which you believe God would like you to be engaged. Try to look 3-5 years into the future. Then list some specific objectives necessary to achieve these goals, especially thinking about the year immediately ahead of you.
  • Develop working objectives for your growth and development
  • Based on your current personal profile and your long range plans, prioritize the specific objectives that you wish to accomplish during this coming year.

    •  

    For each objective, follow these three steps:

    Re-state the objective.
  • Be as concise and specific as possible, making sure you have stated the objective in a way that is reasonably attainable and measurable.

    • Means of accomplishment.

  • Describe the steps you plan to take during the year to accomplish each objective.

    • Means of evaluation.

  • Describe how you will evaluate the extent to which you have accomplished each objective.
  • Develop the criteria you will use to measure movement towards your objective.

    Long range projection/goals for growth and development

    Write a brief statement about the future roles, responsibilities, and ministries in which you believe God would like you to be engaged. Try to look 3-5 years into the future. Then list some specific objectives necessary to achieve these goals, especially thinking about the year immediately before you.

  • Develop working objectives for the growth and development of yourself and your ministry
  • Based on your current personal profile and your long range plans, prioritize the specific objectives that you wish to accomplish during this coming year.

    •  

    For each objective follow these four steps:

    Re-state the objective.

  • Be as concise and specific as possible and be sure you have stated the objective in a way that is reasonably attainable and measurable.

    • Means of accomplishment.

  • Describe the steps you plan to take during the year to accomplish each objective.

    • Resources needed.

  • Develop a list of resources (people, expertise, finances, relationships) that are necessary to implement the goal.

    • Means of evaluation.

  • Describe how you will evaluate the extent to which you have accomplished each objective.
  • Develop the criteria you will use to measure movement towards your objective.

    • Sharing these ideas and plans with your ministry coach and growth partner will help clarify and hone your goals and plans for this year. Before you produce the “finished product” make sure to get input from them and others with whom you work and live.
