The Ministry Playbook: Strategic Planning for Effective Churches
Create a game plan that will keep your church focused and effective! Henry Klopp has spent fourteen years training church leaders to incorporate strategic planning into their ministry endeavors. In The Ministry Playbook he offers methods and tools that even novice planners can easily embrace. You'll find insight into the challenges of leading a church in a largely unchurched culture, biblical examples of strategic planning, and how to overcome the barriers of apathy, resistance to change, and declining financial resources that face any ministry seeking to have a greater voice.  "With Henry Klopp's help we were able to assess our situation, forge a mission statement, and put an end to a million-dollar debt. I thank God for Henry's help." John Piper, pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church (BGC), Minneapolis, Minnesota "Dr. Klopp's ministry to our congregation was instrumental in our turnaround. If you want to seize vision, change, and growth, then you will be blessed by his honesty, exhortation, and encouragement." Mark Slomka, pastor, Mount Soledad Presbyterian Church, La Jolla, California "Dr. Klopp provided our leadership with the direction to plan for our future that could not come from within ourselves. He has our highest respect and recommendation." John Yates, rector, The Falls Church (Episcopal), Falls Church, Virginia "Henry Klopp helped us move forward with God's unique plan for our church. Crafting and communicating vision is hard work. Dr. Klopp helped us walk through that process in a way that effectively engaged lay people." Bill Shereos, pastor, Hope Evangelical Church, Springfield, Illinois  "When our 120-year-old church decided to restructure our ministry, we greatly benefited from the expertise and wisdom of Dr. Henry Klopp. He led us through a strategic planning process that was extremely helpful and crucial to the success of our relocation effort."
