The Church Model Doesn’t Matter (As Long As You Stick With It)

www.seniorpastorcentral.com

I have a friend who swears that drinking water and walking is the key to optimal health. He walks 50 miles a week and is in great shape.

Leadership Evangelism: How Your Church Can Double In Three Years (or Less)

Leadership Evangelism

What I am about to share with you is the single most important church growth principle I have ever learned for Senior Pastors of churches under 1,000 in size. I call it Leadership Evangelism.

3 Church Attendance Shifts Troubling Senior Pastors

Attendance Decline

In the last 5-8 years a subtle, but profound shift in church attendance behavior has begun to change the way ministry is done in North America. The problem is some Senior Pastors don’t realize what has been happening, or at least have been taken off guard and haven’t fashioned a response yet. I know because I'm still trying to find my bearings. Here are 3 church … [Read more...]
