Stop planning your church year in your head. Put it on paper — and actually follow through.
Most small church pastors plan ministry reactively: responding to what comes up rather than leading toward what matters. This kit gives you a practical set of templates for drafting a ministry-year plan. Gather the calendar, budget, and team availability first, then review the draft with the people responsible for carrying it out.
What’s Inside
- 12-month ministry calendar template — map your entire year at once
- Ministry budget planning worksheet — by category, realistic for small churches
- Annual goal-setting framework — one big thing per quarter, not a list of 40 goals
- Board presentation template — present your annual plan to your board or deacons
- Volunteer calendar — who does what, when, across the year
- Year-end review tool — what worked, what didn’t, what to change
- Seasonal ministry rhythm guide — how to build a sustainable annual rhythm
Who It’s For
Small church pastors and ministry leaders who want to lead proactively instead of reactively — and who need a planning system that fits in the margins of a busy life.
