About this resource

A Guide for Your Next Annual Planning Meeting: a Resource to Help You Plan a Year of Children's and Youth Ministry In ministry, we all know what it's like to leave our planning to the last possible second. Maybe you started planning that big event of yours a few weeks too late and now you're scrambling to get it all done. Or maybe you're halfway through the school year when you realize... "Wait, when's the last time I sent a parent email?" Or maybe it's Saturday night, and you're frantically Googling, "free no-prep church lessons." We've all been there, but let's be honest. Procrastination is the worst. It's stressful and time-consuming, and we always regret it. So how about we try something different this year? How about we start planning our ministries an entire year at a time? It only takes one day each year, and it's going to make the other 364 days of your year so much more fun, peaceful, and effective. If it sounds too good to be true-well, it's not. It's actually possible with the Grow system and strategy! And it all starts here: schedule an annual planning meeting.
