The Church Has Left the Building

For many congregations, their identity is tied more closely to a location and a building rather than who God has created them to be in their community. When … Read More
Let’s Do Some Good
When Denise and I lived in Maryland, our church collected clothes from the members and invited the needy in our community to come pick up what they needed free of charge. The response was overwhelming. Within a couple of hours most of the clothes had found new owners. Those who came were deeply moved by our church’s commitment to help … Read More

5 INTENTIONAL WAYS TO SHAPE THE CULTURE OF YOUR CHURCH
By Jimmy Scroggins Culture can be a nebulous term and is not easily defined in the context of any organization, including the church. Culture is what it feels like to be a part of your church. It’s more caught than taught, and it’s always mediated through leadership over time. Leaders must think carefully about how we want our churches to feel. … Read More
Governing Documents: Protecting your church or putting it at risk?
What is the state of your church’s governing documents? Incomplete, out-of-date, in need of review? Maybe you’re not sure what state they are in, or maybe your church recently updated them – but an attorney wasn’t involved. Your church’s governing documents, such as your employment policies, bylaws, constitution, facility use policy, and others, are important. They can either provide legal … Read More
