Communications: Having a Servant's Heart
We talked in another video about giving and receiving constructive feedback. On a deeper level though, feedback is about teamwork and faith that everyone on your church team wants what's best for the church, your attendees, and those who don't yet know Christ. For any communications professional in...

Don’t Fight Back
Some criticism of our ministries will be valid. Others will come from partially informed people who might never understand or endorse our philosophy of ministry. With the explosion of online critics, it is tempting to jump into a conversation to tell your side of the story. While there might be...

Leading the Way with Small Groups
“Church” is much more than a weekly experience. Being the "capital “C” Church includes serving, giving, and engaging with God and others. A healthy, thriving, small group ministry is a necessary component to Christian community, but can be difficult to build effectively. At Life.Church, we enco...

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...

Leading Into the Future
When I want to lead into the future, I usually look into the past to see what I can learn from any patterns. Sensing it was time to make some changes in our church culture, I prayerfully reflected over the different seasons of our church.I noticed a distinct pattern that repeated itself at least se...

Be Good at Something Different
In ministry, most churches and leaders try to be good at what everyone else is good at doing. We’re all trying to improve our preaching, youth groups, kids’ curriculum, worship, environments, and countless other areas. The problem is that we’re not all blessed with the same gifts, and we're not...

Personal Generosity
Several pastors have complained to me that most people in their churches are not generous. I’m guessing that the churches are a reflection of its leaders. If our ministries aren’t generous, it is probably because we aren’t either. Several years ago, God started moving our family toward a much m...

How to Talk with Teens about Suicide
Teens deal with serious, real-life issues in their day-to-day lives, which is why we aren’t afraid to tackle heavy topics at Switch, our youth ministry at Life.Church. Suicide can be a tough topic to address, but starting the conversation with students might help alleviate some of the stigma and ev...
Staff Development
Leadership XP: Laying the Groundwork for an Internship Program
Before we created Leadership XP, our internship program here at Life.Church, we needed to lay the appropriate groundwork with our staff. First, we established the goal of the program and made sure everyone was on the same page. If your goal is to grow leaders, make sure everyone knows that. If you...

Creating an illumiNations Campaign Strategy for Your Church
Imagine if you tried to share the Gospel with someone, and they couldn’t understand any of the Bible. This is a reality for more than a billion people who still don’t have a complete Bible in their language. And more than 165 million people don’t have even one Bible verse in their language. Life.C...
Online Ministry
Virtual Experience, Real Community
Church Online reaches a unique audience, and it comes with a unique set of tools and goals. While the Church Online Platform is versatile enough to accommodate many different ministry styles and technologies, here's how we approach our online ministry. Each of our online experiences...

On Open, we provide flexibility for you to participate in team-teach or not. To participate, use the 'opening...

How to Neighbor: CarePortal
At Life.Church, we believe the local church is the hope of the world. That’s because the church isn’t just a building. The “capital C” Church is all about showing Christ’s love through its people. Scripture specifically calls us to care for orphans and widows (James 1:27). We looked closely at...

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...
