8 Steps To Follow In Planning a Church Event
|
1.) Identify Objective(s)- Before submitting your event, consider how does your event fit into our mission to:
a. Exalt the Savior b. Equip the Saints c. Evangelize the World d. Serve the People of God Your event should align with our core principles. If your event does not have a clear objective that meets one or more of our core principles further planning is necessary before moving forward. |
|
2.) Approval- Be sure to check with Pastor or appropriate ministry leader for approval of event prior to submission.
|
|
3.) Research - Check the yearly calendar to ensure your event does not conflict with an event that has already been previously scheduled. Check the church leadership roster to contact all ministries that you will need to collaborate with in order to make your event a success. Make sure everyone is aware of what is going on and and has a general overview of what they're role will be. Some ministries may not have a role but as a courtesy you should alert them of what will be going on.
