What Excellence Looks Like
To continue the thoughts from yesterday in my post Church Marketing: Excellence or Perfection, I thought this would be a natural extension. If excellence is not perfection, what does it look like?
Three Suggestions for What Excellence Looks Like
- Team Work. Your church is a community of people with a variety and depth of gifts and talents. As a leader or someone trying to accomplish a ministry task, take an assist from those with skills that you do not have. If you want to accomplish your task with excellence, you want to utilize the strengths around you. Plus this distributes the work, engages people in your community, lights people’s passions, and the ministry gets done with a higher degree of excellence than if you tried to do it all on your own.
- Respect People. Set a standard in your church for serving people with excellence. It is rather like customer service. Define what excellence looks like and how you are going to treat people with excellence. Be proactive in ministering to those in your community who have needs. Look for the needs before the needs find you. By being respectfully proactive and strategizing how you can serve the needs in your community, your ministry will naturally shine with excellence.
- Be Creative. Once you define needs in your community and set the standard for serving with excellence, then brainstorm with your team on how you can creatively meet the needs, solve problems, and serve people. The more creative you can be the more you will surprise people with a level of ministry they are not expecting. That is going to make an impression of excellence.
So, what are you waiting for…get your ministry moving towards excellence!
