How To Get A Christian Ministry Started

By Etta Bowen


Being a leader is actually a calling from God to serve His will through spreading the word to other people who do not know about it. Now if one would want to create a ministry, he would have to approach it like creating a business because the processes are actually alike. SO if one would want to do this, then here are some tips on how to get a Christian ministry started.

When creating an organization like this, one should always remember that no man is an island as he will not be able to handle everything on his own. So the first thing that he should do would be to find some partners who will help him in his endeavor. He can have as few as one or two partners or even as many as five.

Now after one has already gathered his team of members, the very next step would be to of course come up with the goals on the organization. Now this is one of the most important parts in meetings because this is where the partners will be creating their mission and vision. This will help them go toward a unified goal.

Now once that is done, the partners will need to secure their position. Now in order to do this, they can actually partner up with a church and ride on the name. If one would want, he can also just get his organization incorporated so that it will have its own name.

After he has already done that, then of course he would need to find a place where he can meet up with his partners. Now if he has partnered up with one of the local churches, then he may actually request to use their place as his temporary meeting place first. If he has enough overhead capital, he may actually get a place of his own.

Of course one of the most important things to do now would be to make sure that the budget of each partner will be able to fit their goals and endeavors. So first, they must create a budget plan to know how much they will be spending on the rent, the equipment, the supplies, and other things. They would also have to think of the fixed costs and variable costs that will be coming their way.

Of course with the budget plan, they will roughly have an idea as to how much money they would have to raise for their organization. Now if they partner up with the church, they may actually create events for the members. They can also have a sale of certain things like cakes or any kind of food.

Now once all of those things have been taken care of, then the partners can shoot out advertisements to get more members. Now the more the members, the more successful the organization will be. So the best thing to do first will be to use the internet and word of mouth as mediums to spread out then he can go further with newspaper ads and fliers.
