The dream job.
Unfortunately though it can also be ineffective. We’ve been having a lot of discussions at Ministry2 about how to calculate success and the development of goals and metrics. The fact is that it’s just hard to know if any of it is actually working.

You need metrics for you ministry. You need goals for your ministry. But they don’t have to be like your neighboring church’s or like anyone elses. Let the dream stay alive without you killing yourself over it because you’re not making the goals of your peers.
Of course, let’s let God determine how successful we truly are.
