One of the most important leadership responsibilities pastors and church leaders have is crafting an effective mission statement and establishing core values for their church. If you are currently going through this process, I want to provide you a template to guide your discussions.
Founded by owners CEO Bryan and Shannon Miles and led by its president Randy Ongie, MAG Bookkeeping is one of my favorite organizations. They exist to glorify God by sourcing people and virtual bookkeeping services that ignite a leader’s possibilities and results.
In the amazing video above, Bryan explains MAG’s mission and core values. As I listened to his thoughts I gleaned the following 8 Lessons For Pastors And Church Leaders On Crafting Mission And Core Values. Each quote is from Bryan himself.
- Mission And Values Make Churches Great – “What makes a company great?..Its really about the mission and values.”
- Your Church’s Mission Must Be Clear – “Our mission is quite clear”
- Your Mission And Values Should Glorify God – “We exists to glorify God by sourcing people and services that ignite a leader’s possibilities and results.”
- Your Mission Is Critical To Your Church’s Success – “Having a mission is so critical to this company.”
- Many Churches Are Not On Mission – “Many, many organizations let their mission collect dust. That’s not our company. That’s not what we do.”
- The Heart Of Pastors And Leaders Should Gravitate Toward Your Mission And Values – “Our heart gravitates toward our values. Our heart gravitates toward our mission.”
- Churches With Clear And Compelling Mission And Values Are Blessed – “We are a blessed organization.”
- Your Mission Should Be Centered Around Your Core Values – As an additional resources for you, Bryan goes on to explain MAG Bookkeeping’s mission is centered around 5 Core Values:
- God – “He is our number One. It’s all about Him. It’s not about us.”
- Team – “We’re in this together. We run to our problems, our challenges, and our opportunities.”
- Passion – “Our passion to serve others and that demonstrates our leadership.”
- Gratitude – “We are thankful people and our gratitude drives our actions.”
- Vision – “We are leaders in our industry. We refuse to accept the status quo. We have the vision of what can be.”
If you need bookkeeping assistance there is no one I recommend more. MAG Bookkeeping helps busy pastors and growing churches by serving as their virtual church bookkeeper connected to the duties of church accounting and payroll. Churches of many sizes call on MAG when critical bookkeeping/accounting/payroll challenges arise because they understand the urgency of NOW and the consequences of lack of focus.
With the video above you can see why.
