Riding the Wave
I pray God blesses your ministry at some point with what some call “the wave.” The wave is when God seems to do more than you can handle! During the wave, your buildings aren’t big enough, you can’t hire fast enough, and you’re just hanging on for dear life. Just remember: ●You don’t crea...
Communications
Tips for Establishing a Communication Review Process
Below you'll find our best practices for the communication review process here at Life.Church. Operations Pastors/Associate Operations Pastors should monitor written communication without being a bottleneck—working more like a consultant than a content creator. Talk to your Campus Pastor about wha...

Kids Ministry: Creating Cohesion Across the Ages
Years ago, our early childhood, elementary, and youth teams created their own curriculums. They operated largely independent of each other and focused on different topics at different times. But after much research and strategizing, we realized we could be more effective if we aligned our stude...

The Right Questions
In the church world, you will almost always get feedback. But not all feedback is equal. Finding the right feedback is vitally important. A key to finding the right feedback is asking the right questions. Here are a few questions that won’t be very effective: ● What did you think of the s...

Host Team: Three Questions That Improve Engagement
At Life.Church, we call it 'Host Team'—at your church, you might call it 'First Impressions,' the 'Welcome Team,' or simply greeters. Whatever you call the volunteers who welcome attenders to your church, it's vitally important to equip them with the heart and vision behind their duty. It's about so...
Leadership
Prepare for Attacks
During a season of blessing, your staff and volunteers will be working overtime. Because the ministry is so exhilarating, your best people will gladly make huge sacrifices to be a part. While riding the wave of blessing, you will be: ●Hiring fast. ●Plugging new believers into significant...

The Phases of My Faith
When God wants to change my life, he changes my perspective. As He reframes the way I see the world around me, I start to think and act differently. When it comes to my faith, three phases stand out as particularly formative in the continuing journey of becoming who God has created me to be. Phase...

Design Philosophy in Kids Ministry
Our design philosophy for our children's classrooms is simple: keep it simple. We want parents to feel good about leaving their children with us for an hour, and that means rooms that are...

Working Lean: When a Small Staff Is Better
At first, it just doesn't make sense – but it's true. A small staff is often better than a large one. Here at Life.Church, we've found that when a team or campus is slightly overstaffed, progress generally slows down. And when that same team or campus is slightly understaffed, we usually take m...

Message Support: "I Want to Believe, But..."
In this four week series, we'll look at some of the barriers that keep people from believing in God. It’s often difficult to believe in a God we cannot see. We wonder why God didn’t answer our prayers, why God allows suffering, or why we can’t feel His presence. God may not meet all your expectatio...
Leadership
The Right People
Asking the right questions is necessary to get valuable feedback. It’s also important to direct the right questions to the right people. When it comes to feedback, not all people are equal. Two groups that shouldn’t always be trusted include: ●Your greatest critics ●Your greatest fans...

How to Neighbor: Partner with Local Missions
At Life.Church, we’re passionate about being the hands and feet of Jesus to those around us. Our message series How to Neighbor shows us just how to do that by reaching out to the lonely, those who are different than us, the orphans, and the poor. One of the best ways "neighbor" is to partner...
Leadership
Letting Go of What People Think
Becoming obsessed with what people think about you is the fastest way to forget what God thinks about you. My mom taught me the common truth, “You can’t please everyone.” From my observation, ministers seem to be more vulnerable to people-pleasing than most professions. In reality, we should...

New Campuses and the 'Core Four'
When we launch a new campus, staff is one of the primary needs. To get a new campus going in the most efficient way possible, we start with a staff of four. We love people who can multi-task...

Where Do We Grow from Here
No matter the size, age or denomination of our churches, there’s one question we should all be asking. It’s simple yet significant. It applies to your church as a whole, but also individual ministries. It compels you to develop vision and strategy, and keeps you outwardly focused. The answer isn’t...
