How To Get A Christian Ministry Started

By Etta Bowen


If one feels like it is his calling to serve God through being a leader, then he may actually create his own ministry. However, creating ministries is actually like creating businesses as there are so many things to think of and so many things to get done. Now if one is really adamant about this proposition, then here is a guide on how to get a Christian ministry started.

Now the key to being successful in this type of field would be to of course choose the right partners because one will not be able to do things by himself. So the very first step in making ministries would be to actually find a team with the same goal. Of course it can be a small team or even a big team depending on how big they would want the organization to be.

Now upon doing that, he has to discuss what the main goal of the ministry is to be. Now the partners must all share that one same direction so that there will be no disagreements between them. Now it is actually in this part that the mission and vision has to be created so that they will all follow that direction.

Now the next thing to do is to secure a partnership with one of the local big churches. Now this is just to make sure that his organization will be recognized and that he will have support from a local church. If he does not want to do that, then he may actually get his new organization incorporated.

Now aside from that, he needs to find a good place where they can actually hold their meetings. Now as stated above, partnering with a local church is a good idea because they can use the space of the church as a temporary meeting place. However, if one has a big overhead capital, he may actually rent his own place.

Of course one of the most important things to do now would be to make sure that the budget of each partner will be able to fit their goals and endeavors. So first, they must create a budget plan to know how much they will be spending on the rent, the equipment, the supplies, and other things. They would also have to think of the fixed costs and variable costs that will be coming their way.

Once they have created a budget plan, then they will also need a way to raise some money so that they can sustain their ministry. One thing that they can do would be to have events wherein people would first pay to join. Another thing that they can do would be to partner up with a church in having a sale.

Upon taking care of all those things, then the partners may already start making an advertising campaign for the ministry. Now the success of the organization will all depend on the size of the member base. So in order to advertise, one can use the internet first as well as word of mouth then go on to publish ads in the newspapers.
