Every year we like to set goals at staff retreat and look at some long term goals. Our goals at directly connected to our mission to help people take first steps and next steps in their relationships with Jesus, others and those who don't know Jesus. It isn't about the numbers, but it is. The numbers help us measure if we are being effective. So here's the goals:
Last Years Goals (Sep 08 - Sep 09):
Attendance: 500 (we were at 480 average in May, we are down for summer)
Baptisms: 40 (we are at 38 right now)
Formerly Unchurched: 52% not going to church before coming (Feb survey - 58%)
Journey Groups: 45% (50% this past year)
Volunteering: 60% (we are right on)
Giving Away Church Income: 15% (unsure of exact numbers because we do a lot of special things. We give away a lot, but we can give more)
So we pretty much hit our goals or surpassed them last year.
This Years Goals (Sep 09 - Sep 10)
Attendance: 700
Baptisms: 72
Formerly Unchurched: 63%
Groups: 55%
Volunteering: 65%
Giving Away Church Income: 15%
So what do you think? Tomorrow, my thoughts on our goals.
