A regular clarification of the purpose for ministry will ensure effectiveness. Remember that values are communicated most accurately when they are not intentionally being communicated. When leaders check the criteria they use to evaluate and change ministries they uncover the values that they hold. Leaders must listen to discussion in leadership meetings. When techniques and methodologies are precious ministries are seldom guided by vision.
Frequent checks give early warning of inaccurate and unclear vision.
They must constantly preach the vision, model the vision, remind themselves of it as they plan, and make it known to the leaders, youth and their parents. This requires a clear, written mission statement.
