Striving For Excellence In Ministry D10- Your Ministry Business Portfolio

What is a Ministry Portfolio?

A Ministry Portfolio is a packet of information that will tell others who you are, where you have been, and what you have done. A Portfolio may include items such as your resume, cover letter, ministry vision statement, personal photos, statement of faith, examples of services, events or products, and more.

Why a Ministry Portfolio?

A Ministry Portfolio is important for several reasons:

First, a quality portfolio will immediately communicate that you are a pursuer of greater works. By providing a neat, cohesive package about yourself and your experience, you are telling others that you have initiative and organization.

Second, your portfolio will tell others that you are a person of purpose with a well-defined vision, a theological position, and a set of goals. These strong leadership qualities will speak volumes.

Third, your portfolio makes it easy find out about you. By laying out yourself, your work, your experience, etc., you become more attractive to those who need your leadership/ministry skills.

Finally, your portfolio allows you to have a prepared first impression. A person’s first in-depth experience with you will be what they see in your portfolio, which you will have spent hours preparing and perfecting.

Remember, first impressions are lasting. If needed, hire a professional to help you present yourself in a more excellence way.
