Why It's Important to Track Church Data
Here at Life.Church, we put a lot of stock in gathering and analyzing data throughout the organization. We use Church Metrics to keep track of all the data that's important to us—like salvations, baptisms, giving, and attendance. But what's more important than tracking data is the heart behind it. I...

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...

Can You Hear Me Now: Microphones
One of a pastor's main duties is to speak…and be heard. Finding a microphone that's comfortable for your pastor is important. Though we use a few different kinds of mics—ranging from handheld to lapel to headset—our pastor, Craig Groeschel, usually uses the Sennheiser HSP 2 headset when teaching onstage....

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...

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...
Communications
Communications: Feedback Is a Gift
In any team, constructive feedback is necessary...and healthy. Humbling ourselves to listen to and learn from our coworkers is a key to creating excellent communication. And when you're the person giving feedback, let your team know that you're all on the same side of the table; feedback shouldn't b...
Leadership
Breaking Up the Systems
Even a good ministry system will eventually limit what God wants to do if the system doesn’t evolve or totally change. (By system, I mean any program, structure, philosophy, or culture that shapes and helps produce a desired outcome.) Once people operate within a system long enough, they often...

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...
Worship
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...
Leadership
The Timing of Feedback
Not only do you want to ask the right people the right questions, but you’ll also want to do it at the right time. I see three different times when feedback is valuable: 1) Before the event Most leaders I know look for feedback on the back end. I crave it on the front end. Each week bef...

Creative Media: Creating a Brand Book
In 2016, we rolled out an extensive brand update. For us, keeping everyone on the same page during our brand update was really important. We had a few meetings but the thing that helped the most was creating a solid, clear brand book that outlined every use-case for the brand. When you're dealing wi...

Does the Size of Your Church Matter? (Part 4)
I love small businesses. I bought my only television from a local, small business. They delivered it, set it up, and called a week later to see how I liked it. Great service. I decided to get a second television so I could watch football while my kids watched whatever reality show they watch. S...

Starting Church Online: Why, How, and Who
Modern technology gives us a chance to reach the world in a way that’s never been possible before in history. By doing online ministry, your church can reach every part of the world that has internet access—from your own community to far-flung countries that don't have access to Christian churches o...

3 Values that Lead to Evangelism
“How do I inspire my church to be involved in evangelism?” At Alpha, that’s the one question we most often hear from church leaders—and it’s an important one for a couple of reasons. First, if we mobilize our whole congregation to engage with their community, the message of Jesus will find its way...
Leadership
Higher Threshold for Chaos
When we’re entering into a new season, I always challenge our leaders to have a higher threshold for chaos. Systems tend to produce predictable outcomes. When we are innovating and growing, we never know what the outcome will be. Many ideas we think will be great turn out to be duds. On the...
