Here it is, Church Family, the blog post promised yesterday!
To correspond with our “Goals for Growing in 2024” message on January 14, 2024, I am attaching some of our elders’ personal goals from last year, 2023, with their permission, for you to use as an example for setting your goals for 2024.
Feel free to copy goals that you like and make them your own. This is a case when “stealing” is completely acceptable. That’s how we got most of ours! 🙂
Ephesians 5:15–16 was one of several key passages in our study of good stewardship yesterday, which says, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, [16] making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.”
A well-rounded set of life goals that serves as a tool to obey this well covers the five areas of:
- Spiritual Growth
- Bible Reading –
- Prayer
- Church Communities –
- Giving –
- Family –
- Personal Development –
- Read goals 2X/Week and report –
- My Personal Health Goals –
- Exercise –
- Sleep -
- Weight -
- Food/Water –
- Technology -
- Ministry/Mission
- Serving at Church –
- Outreach –
- Professional –

Here is our wonderful list of Church Goals for 2024 on which our leadership team prayed and poured over for months for our church, for God’s glory. And on the back side of it is our Personal Goals worksheet.
To get hard copies of the several tools provided, contact our church office at office@communitygrace.org.
Our Elders’ 2023 Personal Goals
Browse our elders’ goals here. Again, feel free to copy goals that you like and make them your own! I think they could prove to be very helpful examples for you.
Feel free to contact us for assistance or questions. If you carve out a little time to work on this with an accountability partner, like your spouse, kids, parents, small group, etc, it will pay exponential dividends for your whole life.
I am praying for you right now and am eager to grow together in the grace of our Lord.
