396 Mapping out Mission: How to Plan your Church's Mission Calendar (Dave Jensen)


Listen Later

Building an effective church mission calendar is like conducting an orchestra—it requires careful coordination, intentional rhythm, and a deep understanding of both the individual instruments and the overall symphony of church life. The calendar is not just a logistical tool, but a strategic roadmap that keeps the main thing of mission the main thing.

There are important points and principles you need to keep in mind, including:

  • Starting with the end in mind
  • Identifying your two pathways and "conversions"
  • What needs to be the priority?
  • How to learn from others around you
  • The importance of term 4 (and what to do in the other terms)
  • When you know you have mission heat


Dave Jensen is the Assistant Director of ⁠Evangelism and New Churches⁠ (ENC), with a specific focus on the ‘E’ of ENC: Evangelism. His aim is to assist churches in their endeavours to see lost people find life and hope in Jesus.
