Originally published as a category list in the Women's Ministry Training Camp 2011. The category list was broadened as a handout in 2019

Instead of just grabbing goals out of a hat, I think there are several areas that you can concentrate on when setting goals for your women's ministry. I think you can fit most things under the following areas.

1. Spiritual Growth
2. Activities and Events
3. Fellowship and Interaction
4. Attendance and Participation

1. Goals for Spiritual Growth

• In what areas do your ladies need to grow spiritually?
• Prayer?
• Faith?
• Basic Bible knowledge?
• Other?

2. Goals for Activities and Events

• What type of events will enhance the spirituality of your ladies?
• What type of activities will strengthen their faith?
• What will encourage fellowship?
• What will encourage working together in the body of Christ?
• Do you need to incorporate more Bible studies?
• Do you need to incorporate more prayer time?
• Do you need to hold more team and leader meetings?
• Do you need to schedule more activities?
• Or do you need to cut out current events to allow your ladies to be involved in more things church-wide and have more time with their families?

3. Setting Goals for Attendance and Participation

• How can you encourage participation?
• Is there a need for rescheduling?
• Is there a need for childcare?
• Is there a need for a better format?
• Should the length of meetings and events be shortened?

4. Setting Goals for Fellowship and Interaction

• How can you encourage fellowship?
• Is there a need for more unity among your women?
• Do you need to encourage mentoring and teaching other women?
• Do your ladies fellowship and work easily alongside those in your church that are outside of women's ministry?
