Earlier I asked if your church evaluates big events. Here are 3 reasons why an evaluation meeting can be so important.
WE GAIN PERSPECTIVE
It might not be until you’re in a meeting with your team, hearing everyone’s experience at the event, that you realize not a single person noticed the little mistakes you’ve been kicking yourself over all week. You’ve been so zoomed in you didn’t notice how successful the big picture was!
WE CAN CELEBRATE EACH OTHER
So often in ministry, the moment an event is over we’re focused on what’s next. It’s important to take a moment, pause, share our wins, our stories, and encouragement with each other.
WE CAN MAKE OUR NEXT EVENT EVEN BETTER
What did we learn? What did we try this time that we want to change for next time? If we don’t look at it now, we’re dooming ourselves to repeating it next time.
How do you evaluate big events?
If you’re looking for something easy to use I have a simple EVENT EVALUATION GUIDE that can help give some direction as you take notes and unpack your latest event.
