Guidelines for Developing a Good Mission Statement
1. Your mission is your basic life purpose. It is why you exist. It is
the main thing you must do in life.
2. Your mission should come from God, that is, it is revealed not
dreamed up. Your mission is not something you wish to do, but
something that God has for you to do.
3. Your mission should be consistent with scripture.  God’s
purpose for your life will never conflict with the principles of
the Word of God.
4. Your mission is usually a reflection of your greatest passions in
life. It is God who placed those passions or burdens in your
heart.
5. Your mission is not a general statement of your life philosophy,
that is, what you really believe about how life should work. It is
a reflection of your philosophy, but is more specific and
focused.
6. Good mission statements usually start by either of these
phrases: "My mission is..." or "I exist to..."
7. Your mission is specific enough to answer these kind of
questions:
What main thing am I going to do? (action words)
Who is the target audience for what I am to do?
What is the desired end result of what I am to do?
