The Code: What Matters Most
The Code. It's what we call our set of core values here at Life.Church. This is different than our statement of faith—it has more to do with focus and perspective. As the church grew and changed over the years, we realized...

Does the Size of Your Church Matter? (Part 3)
One option for those who prefer small churches is to pray like crazy that you don’t reach new people, so your church will stay small–just the way you like it! Here are some more options: ●Start new churches. Instead of trying to bring people in, let’s send some people out. ●Start or parti...

Promise and Deliver
A couple of years ago, we opened a new campus, and on launch day had three times the attendance we were expecting. As a result, we ended up behind the curve on many things: • We didn't have enough LifeGroups. • We recruited new volunteers on the fly. • We needed more staff to fill in the gaps...

An Outsider's Words Often Mean More
I see it as one of my biggest roles to encourage and strengthen our staff. Almost every time we gather, I remind them they are part of something special. But no matter how often I say it, it doesn’t mean as much as when an outsider tells them. We’ve been blessed to have Dr. Sam Chand, Chris...
Kids
Preschool Curriculum & Bible App for Kids: A Perfect Match
We want our preschool-aged children to be more than entertained during church—we want them to really learn about Jesus and the Bible. So, we created a two-year curriculum that works hand-in-hand with...

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...

Neighborhood Fall Fest
Here at Life.Church, we’re testing out some new strategies for reaching people in the fall. One of these strategies is throwing a Neighborhood Fall Fest at each of our campuses. We want to share that strategy with you to help your church reach more people as well! What is it? The Neighborhood Fa...

Worship Team Structure at Life.Church
One of the questions we get here at Life.Church is how we’re able to keep 28 campuses (and counting!) across the country organized and consistent. The truth is that we couldn’t do it without our incredible teams, so we’re very intentional about how we approach team construction. This is especially...
Multi-site
Keeping Experiences Consistent Across Multiple Campuses
We believe that excellence honors God and inspires people. So as a multi-site church with more than 30 physical locations on a weekend, consistency and clarity must be the building blocks of excellence. For the most part, every service at Life.Church flows almost exactly the same at each locati...

Following the Recipe
It’s not unusual for ministries to take a close look at other churches. Often, they’re in search of the recipe for success. It’s great that churches can learn from each other. Our church has certainly been helped by it, and we hope other churches have found value in what we’ve been able to offe...

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...
Staff Development
The Best Fit: How We Hire
Our thorough recruitment process is intentionally designed to help prevent the people we hire from later being fired. When employees not only work for your organization, but they also worship at your church, it's important to...

Don't Wait for Perfection
When launching anything new, most people want it to be perfect. But, opening before it is perfect is often better than waiting for perfection. One of my friends opened a yogurt store before he had signs, pictures, or decorations. Instead of a cool clock on the wall, he put up a piece of paper w...

Training Your Church
If you don’t train your church to know which boundaries are appropriate, you likely won’t have many. If you are the senior pastor, you can set the tone publicly. I’d suggest a few of the following: Publicly communicate when your day off is. Talk about how important that day is to your family. At...
