Strategy Strategies must be designed to enable the church to complete the tasks. Southern Baptists have assigned program organizations the responsibility of completing educational and ministry tasks. This approach works well when organizations are given equal attention, If balance is not maintained, certain tasks are accomplished to the detriment or even exclusion of others. Good curriculum strategy is evident when all tasks are being considered, coordinated, and accomplished evenly. For example, a church that makes Sunday School its primary educational organization must ensure that all tasks describing the church's purpose are adequately represented.
Explicit content is intentional.
Educational materials, stated programs of study, structured worship, or publicly announced ministries are examples of explicit content. Null content is that which should be included in the curriculum design but is not. Offering opportunities for members to engage in corporate worship while ignoring the need to equip families for home worship is an example of null content. No curriculum is complete without an aggressive plan for assessing results. Returning to Mims' model, we note that the intended outcomes are numerical growth, spiritual growth, ministries expansion, and missions advance.
