Leadership
Improve Communication with Stage Time Drills
At Life.Church, we don’t give “announcements.” We lead people to action. Because of this philosophy, leaders at our campuses set aside time weekly to practice how they’re going to interact with attenders from the stage. We call this Stage Time Drills. A Stage Time Drill begins with a speaker doing...

Leading in the Right Role
Before you step up to speak, before you have a developmental conversation, and before you cast vision, there’s one thing you have to do first. You need to clearly define the purpose. There are three important things to consider to define your purpose: • What you want people to know. Too oft...

The Team Behind the Scenes of an Experience
It takes a lot to execute services each weekend at our campuses. But no matter the size of your church, you will need a mix of skilled technical people and teachable volunteers to run your experience. We have a few skilled contractors on the weekend: a front-of-house (FOH) engineer and lighting...

Three Questions for Worship Pastors
At first glance, it seems like a Worship Pastor's main priority is to sing. While singing is the medium, pastoring is the goal. Worship Pastors are responsible for one of the most real, vulnerable, spiritual parts of a church experience—when we tell God how wonderful He is and let him minister to...

Campus Building Plans: The Importance of Height
At Life.Church, we strive to honor Christ and His church with integrity. Often integrity is illustrated in the way we spend money. When constructing new buildings there are plenty of variables to keep in mind.  These variables drive costs and can create or alleviate friction both in your bu...

Three Tips for Stage Communication
It can be scary—having only a few minutes to convey all the news, initiatives, and stories that you want to share with your congregation during a service. But if you think of communicating from stage less as making announcements and more as casting vision, you'll be able to craft stronger, more cohe...
Youth
Lesson Learned: People Before Policies
In any ministry—especially kid's ministry—there are often too many rules and policies to keep track of, and it's easy to get bogged down by all the procedures. If and when that happens, take stock of your priorities and bring it to God. If the rules and policies are getting in the way of safe, meani...

When the Wave Dies Down
Waves come and waves go. When God blesses your ministry with a wave of impact and growth, you’ll be wise not to expect it to last forever. (If it does, you’ll be an exception—not the rule.) If the wave slows, don’t try to recreate it. Those who continue to keep doing what used to work, generall...

Life.Church's Open Door Event
Open Door is an event held at each campus that gives campus staff and attendees a chance to get to know one another. Typically held over dinner, Open Door provides the space for staff and attenders to connect on a personal level, ask questions about Life.Church, and hear the history and vision for t...

5 Days of Leadership with Pastor Craig | Day 2: Lead Through Change
Day 2: Lead through change.As you evaluate your culture and values, you may see some patterns and issues that require your church or organization to change. A common belief is that people resist change because they hate change. But I don’t think that’s true. People don’t hate change; they hate the...

When the Bicycle Threatened the Church
In 1896, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church condemned bicycling on Sunday for enticing parishioners away from church and violating the Fourth Commandment: The Sabbath, the Lord’s Day of rest for the body, and of worship for the soul, is especially threatened by many unscriptural in...

Does the Size of Your Church Matter? (Part 2)
Someone told me, “I love your church, but it is just too big for me.” Their statement raises some questions: • When is a church just the right size? Is 12 just right? How about 120? Maybe 3,000? • When does a church become too big? Is there a magic number? Is it when all the people can no long...
