How To Write A Christian Business Development Plan

By Chasity Sheppard


Writing a Christian business development plan is not hard. With the right tips you can easily come up with one. You need to follow principles that are outlined in the Bible. Because Christians are meant to emulate Jesus they should follow the guidelines in the scriptures about handling money and treating other people well. Though a good plan needs management skills there are many principles in the Bible that will help you to achieve your goals.

The first thing that you should do is to choose a Biblical version that you will use for referencing. Any other resources should also be noted. There are many Bible versions and different people prefer to read different versions. The choice may also vary with the kind of business that you have in mind. Use the internet to find references for some of the content that you will include in the plan. You need to choose passages from the scriptures to support some sections of the plan.

A good place to start with the scriptures is the mission and the vision. Business development is all about making profit in one way or another. Social responsibility may be included in the plan. An example of a good scripture that would be suitable would be one that promises good things to those who help others and trade fairly.

The next step is to determine the style that you are going to use when writing the plan. Use of templates is quite popular. Apart from saving you a lot of time it is also a practice that is acceptable. There are many websites that have templates for writing business plans. Principles that apply to Christians can easily be inserted in a template.

When writing the plan it is important to remember that you are a follower of Jesus. You need to know what Christ said about transactions that involve money. The New Testament talks about running of businesses. It should therefore be a major reference when you are considering marketing as well as customer service. A decent plan should reflect entrepreneurship concepts from the scriptures.

Plans written for Christian businesses are not that different from other companies. The only difference is the principles that are used. The steps are almost similar. The first thing is the vision and the last thing is the executive summary list. The goals of the firm as well as the purpose should be included in the plan. You need to know the fundamental details of the idea before you can come up with a plan.

Go through all the information after you are done writing the plan. Topics such as finance are not based on faith. However, decisions such as giving out loans to the needy are supported by Christianity. To put your plan into action you need support.

If you have good support and networking, Christian business development is not that hard. There are many temptations to do things in an unchristian way but with the right kind of support you should be able to pull through. Read books written by Christians and connect with other people who are on the same path as you.
