The goal of your ministry is not simply to recruit more people to meet a need; it’s to disciple more people to obey a command.

FIVE ELEMENTS OF SUSTAINABLE MOVEMENT

The answers to what you need are often found in the things you already have.

USE THE EXISTING

Establish accountability measures for goals and action items.

SET MICRO GOALS

CONDUCT SMALL EXPERIMENTS

INSPECT WHAT YOU EXPECT

CELEBRATE SUCCESSES

Set goals small enough to reach yet still meaningful enough to strive for.

Sometimes the greater goal of something isn’t success, but learning.

Create a culture that recognizes, reinforces and rewards the “wins.”

1. What resources, ministry structures, programs and tools does your church already have that can be utilized in this ministry?

2. Instead of creating something new, in what ways can you “use the existing?”

3. What’s the next phone call, email, meeting or conversation?

MICRO GOALS

So small they’re virtually

impossible to miss but so

strategic they’re incredibly

valuable to hit.

MARKS OF AN ACHIEVABLE GOALSPECIFIC |

Where is the next light pole? What does it look like?

MEASURABLE | How do we know when we've arrived at the next light pole?

ACHIEVABLE | Do we believe it is possible to make it to the next light pole? Based on what? Past experience of making it to other similar light poles? A sheer determination of will and core conviction that we have to make it there?

REALISTIC | What conditions would need to exist in order to make it to the next light pole? Do those conditions exist now? If not, can we create them?

TIMELY | What specific amount of time are we giving ourselves to make it to the next light pole?

EXAMPLE MICRO GOAL: HOST AN INFORMATIONAL LUNCHEON

Where is the next light pole? What does it look like? Host an informational meeting for prospective foster/adoptive families with 25 in attendance.

How do we know when we've arrived at the next light pole? A meeting was held, people attended, energy was great and next steps are clear.

Do we believe it is possible to make it to the next light pole? Yes. Momentum seems to be building and many people are asking questions/curious.

What conditions need to exist in order to make it? Do those conditions exist now? If not, can we create them? We have the space, childcare, ability to bring in food and promote the event to our church.

What specific amount of time are we giving ourselves to make it to the next light pole? It fits in well with our church calendar and can be a great follow up to our current sermon series.TIMELY

CONDUCT SMALL EXPERIMENTS3 Main Idea: Take Risks, Fail and Learn

Page 21: Building a Discipleship Pipeline - WEBINAR SLIDEDECK...1 I Become a member of the network. 2 | Sign up to receive the National Alliance Network newsletter. 3 | Access the library of

Don’t be so afraid to miss that you never actually shoot!

A SMALL EXPERIMENT

a) helps grow the

ministry if it “works”

b) does not

compromise the ministry if it

doesn’t “work”

Page 23: Building a Discipleship Pipeline - WEBINAR SLIDEDECK...1 I Become a member of the network. 2 | Sign up to receive the National Alliance Network newsletter. 3 | Access the library of

Higher attendance; momentum produced for the ministry.

ACTION ITEMS

SMALL EXPERIMENT

OUTCOME

IMPACT ON MINISTRY

LESSONS LEARNED

A “SMALL EXPERIMENT” CASE STUDY

OUTCOME OF 2ND EVENT

Minimal. No major positive or negative outcomes.

Host an informational meeting for prospective foster/adoptive families.

Low attendance, but special time of connection.

1) Promotion was weak; 2) Meeting time was inconvenient.

1) Develop one-month promotion campaign; 2) Schedule meeting right after church on Sunday (provide food and childcare)

Trying things and “failing” can teach you more about:

• the people you are serving

• the culture of your church

• the environment in which you are doing ministry

• the leadership temperaments of your team

• the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of your communications

• the clarity of your vision

• the clarity of your message

• etc.

THE PRIMARY GOAL OF YOUR SMALL

EXPERIMENT IS TO

LEARN!

God is more pleased by your willingness to be

than He is concerned about

your ability to achieve a certain

set of

FAITHFUL

OUTCOMES.

1. Have you ever tried something in your ministry that didn’t “work” the way you hoped? How did that initially make you feel? What did you learn about your leadership and ministry from the experience?

2. What is one thing you have been considering doing in the ministry but for one reason or another have been afraid to try? How can you use it as a “small” experiment for your ministry?

3. What hope do you find as a ministry leader in the fact that “God is more pleased by your willingness to be faithful than He is concerned about your ability to achieve certain outcomes”?

MEASURING OUTCOMES

To reinforce clarity and consensus around the vision of your ministry.

To determine the effectiveness of a resource, program or event.

To identify the most effective practices.

So what?…• Not an indictment, but an encouragement.

• Helps you determine whether or not the time, energy and resources you are pouring in are producing the results you want.

• Asks “transformational” questions, not just “numerical” ones.

EXAMPLE How many people attended the event?

vs. How has this program, event or resource made a difference in the lives of families,

children and/or our community?

The

of your ministry is not determined by

its size, but by its

in the lives of those

you are serving.

STATEMENTS

FEEDBACK AND SURVEYS

(1-5 scale from “1 - strongly disagree” to “5 - strongly agree”) • I came away better equipped for adoption, foster, and/or global orphan ministry because of this event, program, resource…

• I would recommend this event/resource/program to a friend. • I am going to incorporate what I’ve learned from this material into my life.

•What content or ideas would you like to see included next time? •Are you likely to attend this event again in the future? •Would you recommend this Bible study, curriculum or resource to a friend? •What was the most impactful thing for you about this event, program or resource?

QUESTIONS

Page 32: Building a Discipleship Pipeline - WEBINAR SLIDEDECK...1 I Become a member of the network. 2 | Sign up to receive the National Alliance Network newsletter. 3 | Access the library of

1. What outcome measuring mechanisms do you have in place for your ministry? Surveys? Feedback forms?

2. If none, what next steps can you take to begin implementing opportunities for people to provide feedback in order to learn and improve for next time?

3. Most time and energy is focused on planning and executing events and programs. How can your leadership establish the third critical component - back end assessment - into everything it does? How will that information be reviewed among the team to help build consensus and commitment to a unified vision moving forward?

Celebrating Successes…• The vision of your ministry is the big picture,

like a “mural” on a wall. It’s beautiful and diverse.

• “Postcard” celebrations are smaller, easier-to-hold-onto moments that remind your people of:

1) The mural we’re all working towards. 2) God’s goodness and faithfulness along

the way.

• “Postcard” celebrations are smaller, easy opportunities to recognize what God is doing in your ministry.
