Stop reacting to your church calendar. Start leading it.
Most small churches don’t plan their year — they react to it. Events happen because they always happen. Programs continue because no one stopped them. The calendar fills up with things that were never intentionally chosen, and the things that actually matter get squeezed out.
The Annual Ministry Planning System gives your church a complete framework for planning a ministry year that reflects your actual priorities — not just your habits.
What’s Inside
- Annual Planning Retreat Guide — How to run a half-day planning session with your board or key leaders
- Ministry Calendar Template — 12-month planning grid with built-in ministry rhythms (Advent, Lent, VBS, etc.)
- Priority-Setting Worksheet — Identify your 2–3 most important ministry goals for the year
- Budget Alignment Tool — Make sure your spending reflects your priorities

The Result
