Ministry Proposal Worksheet


We are thankful to God for your thoughts about ways to improve and expand the ministry of our church!

This worksheet has been designed to facilitate the movement of your proposal through the church in a minimum amount of time while checking with other ministries for the purpose of communication and coordination.

Please enter your answers to the following questions. Then give this form to one of the staff. They will
review it and approve it or pass it along to the elders for their approval. We will schedule a time for you
to meet with a staff person to go over this worksheet at least two weeks before the event.

What is your plan of action to get this proposal accomplished? Please be as specific as
possible about the people who need to be involved, proposed timeline, and space requirements
in the building. Please answer the What, When, Where and How questions.



Will you need a key to the church?

What technology will be required for your ministry?

TV? DVD Player? Projector & Screen? Microphones (how many)? Please be as specific as possible and take the time to think this through thorougly. This is typically the most problematic area for all involved since we have many ministries going on all the time and limited equipment as well as staff and or technical people available. Being willing or having someone in your ministry willing and available to be trained on the technical equipment is the best way to insure success of your ministry project as far as the technical end.

TV     DVD     Projector     Projector Screen    

Microphones:     How many total?     Type?


List other needs not listed above and how & where these items will be used.

 


Who will be responsible for this technological component to the ministry? Has that person
received the necessary training from church staff in order to run that equipment?


Will the church staff have any responsibilities connected to this project?  What would those responsibilities or expectations be?  Please be as specific as possible.

 


How will results of this ministry be evaluated?



After this form is submitted staff, ministry leaders, Elders and Trustees will evaluate the following:

  • What persons or committees have authority in this area? 
  • What is their response to the proposal?
  • What other ministries will this proposed ministry affect?
  • Who else needs to be informed about this?
  • What other advice or feedback should be sought?
  • What barriers or problems do you see in getting this proposal underway?
  • Then the date approved by staff or Elders will be documented.
