Does the Size of Your Church Matter? (Part 3)

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...

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...

Think Ahead: Anticipate on Purpose
Successful people are often great at anticipating—the needs of others, the trends of the future, and the next steps that need to be taken. Make it a priority to intentionally practice anticipation in the following ways: • If you want to be promoted as an assistant, anticipate how you can bet...
