The purpose of Candypalooza is to encourage kids to invite their friends who may have never been to church before. Kids come dressed in their favorite costume, have some fun with their fr...

Communication: The Seven Touch Points
Sometimes people ask about our communication strategy for attracting new people to Life.Church and retaining current attenders. Because people are more distracted than ever and going to church less frequently, we want to get them excited about upcoming content so they’ll come (and bring a frien...

Strategic Disruptions
The longer you do ministry, the easier it becomes to minister from memory. You tend to do what you've always done. It is safe, comfortable, and convenient. To stay spiritually and creatively fresh, I suggest “strategic disruptions.” To me, this is intentionally disrupting the routine, mundane,...

Letting Go of the Fear of Failure
The fear of failure paralyzes too many people. I’ve found one of the best gifts God can give a leader is the gift of failure. Too many of us are not doing what we feel called to do because we’re afraid to fail. As I observe the people around me, it seems the most effective have failed far more...

Planting a New Campus with the Right Heart
If you lead an existing church or campus, and you hear that your church will be planting a new church, campus, or multi-site location, it can be hard to keep your heart right. You may feel like you're losing attenders, losing the tithe, or losing the cachet you alone had enjoyed in your town. We s...

Why We Don't Do Church Membership (New)
At Life.Church, one of our goals is to be spiritual contributors, not spiritual consumers. We've found, however, that church membership does not necessarily encourage this attitude in the most effective way. Instead, we believe that when people feel needed and known, they are drawn to engage and co...

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...

Is Anyone Listening?
With social media, many people express what’s going on inside their hearts with the same level of transparency as sharing what they had for lunch. “Out too late partying last night = overslept my alarm this morning. Guess I’ll be having ‘car trouble’ again.” “Yay, lunch! It’s burger & fries day!!!...

Message Support: Anxious for Nothing
This series reminds us that despite the uncertainty of the world and the pressure we place on ourselves, Scripture directs us to release that anxiety to God. When we do, we don’t have to lie awake at night. Our shortness of breath can be replaced by life-giving rest. We can feel a peace that goes be...
Service & Events
Walk-in Song
At Life.Church, we play a secular song live each week before the service as the countdown is going and people are walking to their seats. This song is called the "Walk-in Song" and is a tool we use to make first-time guests and others who don't know Christ feel comfortable at church. In this video,...

Creating a Welcoming Environment at Easter
Next to Christmas, Easter is likely the time of the year you’ll see the most new attenders in your church. And, when you’re new to church, walking into the doors of a church for the first time can be intimidating or down-right scary. As you think about this new wave of attenders, walk through your c...
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...

Does the Size of Your Church Matter? (Part 1)
Why do some people go to small churches? Why do others go to large churches? This is certainly an oversimplification, but bear with me. People tend to stay at small churches because they are: 1) Needed. Each week, someone is counting on them to pass out the red attendance folders, vacuum...
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...
