Church Annual Planning Kit

A clear annual plan gives a small church’s pastor, board, staff, and volunteers one shared picture of the year ahead. This 30-page kit guides a leadership team through a three-to-four-hour planning session and provides ten tools for turning ministry priorities into a workable calendar.

What is inside

• A 12-month preaching calendar and annual ministry-goals worksheet
• A 52-week event calendar and budget-planning timeline
• A board-meeting schedule and staff/volunteer goals sheet
• A stewardship-campaign planner and church-health checkup
• A year-end review and celebration tool
• A next-year kickoff checklist for carrying lessons forward

Best for: a pastor and key leaders planning the next ministry year together. Set aside a focused planning session, complete the tools in sequence, and use the final calendar as a living reference for preaching, communication, board work, volunteers, and major events.
