Part of being a leader is making what feels like a million decisions. Decisions about everything from what Bible verse to teach to what pool noodle game to play at camp. However, few decisions are as extensive and important as the decisions you make about your plan for each ministry year. That\u2019s why before you make any decisions, there are actually some questions you need to ask:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you want kids to grow up and believe?<\/span><\/p>\n

What exactly is the responsibility of a volunteer?<\/span><\/p>\n

What are you hoping to convince parents to do?<\/span><\/p>\n

What will be the best way to measure effectiveness?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In other words…what\u2019s your strategy?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

We define strategy as a plan of action with an end in mind. Basically, you need to ask yourself two questions:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Who do you want kids to become?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the action steps that will help you make that happen?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You see a strategy has the potential to connect your resources, events, curriculum, and leaders into one integrated plan to lead a child or teenager into a growing relationship with Jesus. That\u2019s the mission after all, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, what does this look like and how do you be strategic as you plan your ministry year?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t as simple as grabbing dates on a calendar and dropping in your events. Families are busy, and when it comes to scheduling our church calendar, a best practice is to realize the other calendars in a family\u2019s life that influence their availability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Basically, you need to be aware of the . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

local school calendars, <\/span>community calendars,\u00a0<\/span>and church calendar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That\u2019s because you should strive for your ministry calendar to compliment instead of compete with the other events happening in a family\u2019s everyday world. Not only will each event generally just be more successful, but you will also demonstrate that you are thinking about families and care about them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While planning your year you don\u2019t just need to be mindful of the other calendars affecting the families in your ministry. You should also be strategic about what events you do and when. An event is any programming outside of your primary environment that creates energy or momentum. Events are things like camps, family experiences, milestone celebrations, and service projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But, not all events are created equally. There is a big difference between a random<\/em> event and a strategic<\/em> event.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Random events are created to meet various needs.
\n<\/span>Strategic events are created to lead people to what\u2019s next.
\nRandom events work independently.
\nStrategic events work together.
\nRandom events tend to establish competing systems.
\nStrategic events establish complementary systems.
\nRandom events function as activities.
\nStrategic events function as steps.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A strategic event has the end in mind. It\u2019s leading to something else. It\u2019s a step toward the desired destination. Events should strengthen and solidify small groups, so kids and teenagers have a safe place and a safe group of people to process faith with as they develop an authentic faith.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, as you plan your year it matters not just what events and programming you do and when, it matters what you actually say at those events. That\u2019s why you do what you do, right? You believe in the message of who Jesus is and what He did and how that has the potential to change a kid’s or teenager\u2019s future. That\u2019s why you also need to plan an annual teaching calendar. After all, you will only have 30-40 hours a year to influence a kid or teenager, so you need to be intentional about saying and recycling what matters most.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That means deciding what concepts and passages and stories and verses are most important for the kids and teenagers you serve and putting those on the calendar first. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here\u2019s the key, we have to prioritize what matters most for them at their current stage of life.<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

For most of us, there will always be a gravitational pull toward teaching what is most helpful or most interesting to us, as adults. But what\u2019s helpful for US isn\u2019t always helpful for a teenager or a little kid. So, we have to dig into where they are developmentally and discern what they absolutely can\u2019t miss this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Then, we repeat it. Why? Well, for a few reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First, kids\u2019 brains are always growing and transforming. That means they\u2019ll understand certain truths differently as they get older. Love your neighbor looks differently in preschool than it does in social media chats or dating life. So there\u2019s a value in repeating important concepts at every life stage. But maybe a better reason to repeat is this:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the same time, as humans, we rarely remember something the first time we hear it. No, we have to hear the same concept over and over before we can remember and apply it to our lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here at Orange, we refer to this repetition strategy as our scope and cycle\u2014scope referring to WHAT we teach and CYCLE referring to how often it\u2019s repeated. If you\u2019re an Orange Partner, we give you all of this information upfront as it is the basis of our curriculum, but even if you\u2019re not a partner, you can still access the one-year scope to help you plan your year.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While considering different calendars, creating strategic events, and refining your messaging strategy is a good start to planning your year, that is just the beginning of the process. We know you also have to think about partnering with parents and training volunteers, not to mention figuring out budget and resources. Creating an annual plan for your ministry is not a simple task. It takes planning, intentionality, and willingness to innovate and try something new, but the mission is too important to not be strategic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
