number 3
3.Personal engagement plannerKevin Huggins strikes again (see idea 4). This is one that we love. As a part of a 3 year 'journey' to see more involvement and greater discipleship, Kevin's church has provided a free personal engagement planner to every person at the church. This planner is divided into four sections-worship, grow, serve, invest-which represent critical areas the church wants to develop in its people.
Each section begins with an explanation of the section (what is worship?), and then asks people to evaluate themselves through a series of questions on a detailed scale (for example: 'How well do I enter times of corporate worship with my heart ready and prepared to full engage God?', with answers that range from 'I have trouble most Sunday mornings just wanting to get up and come' through 'Most Sundays I can't imagine being more present and engaged with God').
People are then to write out how God is CALLING them to mature,
and from that, what their GOAL is,
and then to develop ACTION STEPS.
Included in the back of the planner is a list of all the ministries and resources the church offers. People are encouraged to include some of these things in their action steps. (Worship ministries include the band, tech team, dance ministry, etc. Worship resources include specific books and music that can guide and instruct.)
I love this resource because it forces people to take responsibility for their own growth and connectedness, but it also informs people of all the ways the church can assist in growth and connectedness.
AND it's all online.
and the full version (with pictures) is here.
