Your ministry is always communicating.
Common Problems: M.A.P. of Ministry Decline
When ministries fail to get help with communications issues, they begin to decline. Yet, most don’t seek help.
Some may not realize they aren’t communicating well. Some don’t know where to start. If your ministry has been frozen in the same place for years, is struggling to grow, or is missing something you can’t quite put a finger on, you probably have a communication problem. And if you recognize that, you’re already ahead of the game. But it’s what you do next that really matters.
Calling in an outside consultant is a difficult decision for a ministry to make, even when it is struggling. There are three main reasons why even the neediest of ministries do not reach out for help, and we call them the M.A.P. of Ministry Decline.
Money
Ministries have a responsibility to be good stewards of their finances. Cost is a valid concern for people in leadership when it comes to investing in tools that can improve the health and trajectory of their ministry. We can’t promise that you’ll make millions by improving your communications, but we can work with you to make sure you get maximum value from your financial investment.
The key is investing in the right things, so consider this: do you know the cost of not paying attention to your communications? Learning how to communicate well can help attract new people, cultivate relationships, connect with your community, and improve your leadership and staff relationships.
Apprehension
Many leaders recognize something is missing in their ministries, but because they aren’t sure what it is, they don’t know what to do about it. There is also an understandable fear some ministry leaders have of letting outsiders in to “tinker with the ecosystem.” We get it and we see this often.
That is why we will partner with you and your leadership team to discuss concerns, hopes for the future, and discover where your needs are before you hire us. Then we will create a comprehensive plan and walk through it with you carefully. Change can be a daunting process, but your ministry does not have to go through it alone.
Pride
Culture is changing more rapidly now than ever before. There are hundreds of social media platforms. Words and phrases that used to mean one thing may have taken on new, sometimes even offensive meanings. What was cutting edge seemingly moments ago is yesterday’s news. New ways of communicating timeless truths are emerging every day and the culture is moving more quickly than most people can keep up.
Nobody likes to admit when they are in over their head, but good leaders are able to ask for help. You already know that pride goes before a fall. Don’t let your ego prevent your ministry from moving forward. We want to help you get to a place where good communication habits become second nature.
