| Development Plan Templates-2007-09-04 | |
Each template contains many of the same features. They all include both a planning side and a performance review portion consistently aligned with your goals. Adapt them to fit your style and approach. Essential elements include:
- Goals – ensure these are specific. They should be “SMART”. Your goal(s) may not be ‘perfect’ or ‘adequate’…most goals aren’t, especially in the ministry world; but just having them will get you moving toward an intended target.
- Action Plans – the small steps to be taken that will lead you to accomplish the goal
- Outcomes – project the potential results of the goal before you ever act. This is a heart and hope filled statement: “What will this look/feel like when the goal is accomplished?”
- Performance Measure – undoubtedly the hardest part of this exercise. This is how you or others hold you accountable for your goals. What will indicate you achieved the goal? Numbers; change of behavior; a new program; new people…?

| Strategic Peer Networks (SPN's)-2007-01-24 | |
SPN's are a community of peers who are committed to regularly meet for the purpose of building their character and competency for ministry. These networks are a key context for providing mutual care and also the accountability needed to be healthy and effective pastors able to lead churches into transformational growth. SPN's are self-selecting and peer lead, but District Coaches are able to assist in helping pastors find a meaningful network. For information on starting an SPN, contact Doug Balzer, Leadership & Church Planting Coach, dbalzer@cmawdo.org
