Loving Relationships

"Loving Relationships". That's the lowest quality factor in our church's quality survey by the Institute of Natural Church Development. That's also the committee I'll be leading over the next 6 monts to 1 year to strategize & implement changes specific to this area.

The survey seems a bit sterile on the surface, but the opportunity is truly amazing. The point really is not a big church, big numbers, make the gospel attractive to attract people..what we normally consider church growth strategies. The opportunity is meeting needs; creating a healthy atmosphere in which God can better move through structures, relationships, worship, leadership and ministry.

I'm fascinated to see where this goes. I am hoping...praying...that what is done by the team and the church makes a difference in the lives of people.
