 The Christian Standard has an excellent article on three areas of church leadership. The call to clearly define roles, deal with conflict and mentoring are certainly central issues if a congregation is to grow. The article is here.

Are Goals Biblical?
Luke 13:32 He replied, "Go tell that fox, 'I will drive out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.'” - Jesus had goals.
Are there parameters for Goals?
Galatians 3:3 Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort? - Spiritual goals must be met by spiritual means. To grow in patience, kindness, fruitfulness is not a matter of will power or working harder. It is a humble posture on my knees; consuming the perspective of God via the scriptures.
What is the ultimate Goal?
Philippians 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 1:9 for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
2 Corinthians 5:9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. - Pleasing God, and by consequence, entry into Heaven. These constitute the target for which we are aiming.

 Brothers and Sisters,
How important are prayer and Bible study? Can we accomplish much for God without them? Do they feed the Spirit of God within us?
Bible study and prayer are important. I have been lax in my prayer
life, but more and more sense the need to pray - being forced to my
knees by realizing their is no other answer. My concern for myself, our
family group and are fellowship at large is Bible study. As we (as a
church) begin to see growth, church plantings and missionary work, we
can easily be lulled into a false sense of security. "We are doing well
spiritually, because we are growing", will be the reasoning. However
Matthew 23:15 tells us this is not a valid argument...
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You
travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes
one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
