Using Data for Ministry Effectiveness
In this episode of the Lead On Podcast, Jeff Iorg dives into the significance of leveraging data to evaluate your ministry effectiveness and elevate discipleship. We start by shedding light on the Annual Church Profile (ACP), a tool used by the Southern Baptist Convention to gather church data. While recognizing its limitations, it's crucial to have statistical insights into your ministry progress. You might have some reservations about diving into data analysis in ministry, however, be assured that the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.
Expand your metrics beyond the traditional measures like baptisms, attendance, and finances to encompass spiritual growth, discipleship effectiveness, and church impact more comprehensively. Consider strategies for measuring both financial progress and people's engagement and growth within your church. Instead of just tracking total offerings received, focus instead on discipling your church members in their stewardship of resources, and embrace data-driven approaches as a means to deepen spiritual development and effectively fulfill your disciple-making mandate. -
