3 Enrollment Growth Goal: Increased enrollment over last year Enrollment = Ministry
4 The Value Of Being on the Ministry List Life Changing Bible Study Weekly Ministry Opportunities Opportunity to use Spiritual Giftedness Fellowship Opportunities You Get a Free Comentary 4 Times a Year.
5 We have had a great response from our Adult Sunday School Teachers since you were here. One example: Our Senior Adult class took everything you said to heart. They requested enough learner books so they could distribute one to every member and every prospect on their ministry list. Once the books came in, they went door to door handing them out and inviting everyone to Sunday School. Yesterday, the first Sunday of our new church year, their attendance doubled! Their room was packed! It is so exciting for them to see that Sunday School works when you work Sunday School! Susan Prescott, Minister of Education, First Baptist Church St. Bethlehem, Clarksville, TN
6 Ministry List Increased Ministry List means: Increased Sunday School attendance Increased Worship attendance Increased ministry Increased baptisms Increased offerings Increased number of workers
7 Ministry List Anywhere Anytime If They Agree
8 Ministry List How? 1. Ministry List Cards 2. During Bible Study 3. During Worship Services 4. During Visitation 5. Special Church Events
9 Ministry List The Key Is Follow-Up 1. Deliver Bible Study Resources 2. Provide Information 3. Provide Transportation 4. Sit With New Members/Guests
10 Ministry List Guiding Principles 1. Think People Not Percentages 2. Drop Persons From The Ministry List When They Die 3. Ministry! Ministry! Ministry!
11 Units Growth Goal: One per persons enrolled in Bible Study Without new units being developed regularly you are organized for maintenance
12 Units Bible Study Classes reach their maximum effectiveness in months
13 CAUTION: Units 1. Class members become overly attached to the teacher. 2. Class members become overly attached to the room 3. Class members become overly attached to each other 4. A class stops growing 5. A class stops sending members out
14 Units Guiding Principles: 1. Space determines unit enrollment 2. New units determine growth 3. New unit considerations: a class with a large enrollment a class with broad age ranges a target group not being reached a lifestyle class off campus classes
15 Open Groups Expect New People Every Week
16 Ministry Touches Growth Goal: Everyone on the ministry list should be contacted every week for ministry The roll is the ministry list
17 Ministry Touches Devise a strategy to contact everyone on the ministry list every week
18 Attendance Growth goal: An attendance of 40%-60% of the enrollment should be achieved
19 Attendance Attendance Follows Ministry
20 Space Growth Principle: One space for every on campus unit
21 Space Four types of space Worship Education Parking Preschool When any of these is 80% full consider the space full
22 Space Discover space 1. Available 2. Adjusted 3. Adjacent 4. Adapted
23 Space Guiding Principle: Space should never keep a church from reaching people
24 Leaders Growth Goal: One Worker for every five persons on the Sunday School ministry list Leaders: Those who are involved in the work of teaching, reaching, or ministry
25
26
27 Leaders Four things every adult class need to do to help members leave 1. Missionary Member board 2. FYI phone call to missionary member immediately after church 3. Missionary member receives a ministry contact during the week 4. Monthly party
28 Team, Leaders I have a Sunday School class that meets on Sunday mornings at TPC who has a heart to serve people like you the people who serve kids weekly. If you were able to go to a grown-up class instead of serving you would fall into this age group / life stage to be in this class. They asked me to make contact with you and ask if they could pray for you and you a weekly update on what is happening in grown up world at TPC. They would like to consider you their missionary members because you are out on the mission field on Sunday morning serving others. If you have any problem with this, feel free to let me know and I am happy to ask them to take you off their list. What a privilege, honor, blessing...to think/know people are praying for us. That's powerful. Great idea. Sure appreciate their kindness. Thanks Amy. Great idea... Thank you.
29 Leaders Guiding Principles: Pray for workers to be called Learn the art of discovery Learn the art of encouragement and motivation
30 Leaders in Training Growth Goal: Every leader participates in leadership training every year
31
32 Leaders in Training Determine a strategy to enable every Leader to earn their leadership diploma in one year Individual Church Association State National
33 Leaders in Training Guiding Principles: Every leader in training: and it is never ending No leader says, I already know that.
34 Sunday School Leadership Meeting Growth Goal: 75% of workers attending a weekly team meeting The 4 P s of Leadership Meetings
35 1. Pray Every Meeting For: 1. The lost 2. The unchurched/backslidden 3. The teacher 4. The class leaders 5. The church staff 6. Intercessory Needs 7. The Church s Ministry
36 2. Promote Resources 1. Available Training Resources (the latest study course materials, books, articles, web sites, etc.) 2.

38 4. Plan 1. Set goals 2. Determine strategies to meet goals 3. Plan for intentional growth (do the necessary little things to make a difference)
39 Persons in Discipleship Growth goal: At least one half of the Sunday School attendance is enrolled in a Discipleship class.
40 Persons in Discipleship These classes are closed and are for building Great Commission Christians A director of Discipleship is needed in every adult class
41 Worship Attendance Growth Goal: No more than 10-20% more in worship than in Sunday School.
42 Worship Attendance Remember to get persons in worship services on the ministry list who are not already on the Sunday School ministry list
43 Offerings Growth Goal: Sunday School attendance multiplied by the per capita giving
44 Offerings Divide weekly undesignated offerings by the average Sunday School attendance. This gives the per capita giving
45 Offerings Guiding Principle: We do not need more money! We need more people!
46 Prospects Growth Goal: Prospects = Ministry List Anyone who does not attend Bible Study is your prospect.
47 Prospects Valid Prospect: Someone who is assigned a class with proper information
48 Prospects How? 1. I know a prospect cards 2. Opinion Polls/People Search 3. New Residence information 4. Special event registration 5. Broadman Prospect Services
49 Prospects Guiding Principles: 1. Equal to the number on the ministry list 2. A director of prospecting to keep everyone aware of the need 3. Anyone not attending Bible Study is a prospect
