Personal Goals

Personal Goals within Salem Heights Church

Write a set of goals for yourself and your role in your non-profit organization.

1)Serve in some capacity four times each month.
2)Encourage others to challenge themselves in their role as a servant. This will keep their interest high and their dedication growing (Wartzman, 2009).
3)Look for new areas where my skills will be utilized more effectively. Then wait for God to present an opportunity to be “re-potted” into that role (Drucker, p196).
4)Identify methods of improving organizational effectiveness towards accomplishing the purpose- “To reach people with the love of Jesus Christ, provide a safe and supportive environment, proclaim the standards of God's truth, duplicate the Christian life in others, and celebrate the majesty and works of our great God.“ (salemheightschurch.com)
5)Measure and track my performance in my role as a Husband and Father. Set personal goals for leading my family and share how well I am doing with my accountability partners. (Although this does not seem to relate to Salem Heights Church, I think that having a healthy and thriving Church requires actions in all aspects of our lives especially in regards to our God given roles in our homes.)
