CE 840: Strategic Planning for the Educational Ministry – 2025–2026

• 4.00 Credit Hours

This course will help educational ministry leaders to think and plan strategically, beginning with an evaluation and articulation of the ministry’s core values and mission statement, as well as an understanding of the vision and practices in which that mission is executed. Students then develop a process for crafting a strategic plan which will include a concise and coherent roadmap for implementation. The road map will include the key foundational elements of any strategic plan, most especially the communication structure by which the plan is promulgated, and the assessment structure by which its success is measured. The course will also explore the process of performing a gap analysis.
