Preparing
and Presenting a WM Plan
by Robyne Beaubien
Following is
a proposal submitted to a church in 2002 that was considering a WM.
(I am happy to say that they did implement it and are going strong!)
There is a cover page, a page that shows the need for the ministry,
a plan
to
begin
the
ministry,
a
leadership
plan,
a budget, a proposed calendar, and samples of surveys. (I have not
included the survey samples, for ideas see the survey page on this
site.) The pages distorted a little when we created the smaller images
but I am sure
that you will
be able to get a general idea of the layout and presentation.
I would recommend
making your presentation as simple as possible. Clearly present your
plan, goals, budget and mission without all the details. Make copies
for
your
pastor and other leaders you will be presenting the idea to. Typically
there will be a committee or board that you will make your proposal
to. Be prepared to discuss
your reasoning
behind each idea presented. Be ready to negotiate on your budget.
(You may need to cut the retreat out of the first year or two until
you have "proven" the ministry.)
