The Beginning of Multi-site
Innovation happens where passion meets constraints. At first, it's a strange concept, but we've found that when you're backed up against a wall, you come up with some of your most ingenious solutions. For us, being constrained by a budget and a growing congregation forced us to think about alternati...

Riding the Wave
I pray God blesses your ministry at some point with what some call “the wave.” The wave is when God seems to do more than you can handle! During the wave, your buildings aren’t big enough, you can’t hire fast enough, and you’re just hanging on for dear life. Just remember: ●You don’t crea...
Youth

Switch is our youth ministry for 6th through 12th grade students designed to engage young people and help them grow. If you've used the Switch curriculum in the past or are just getting started, these four strategies will help you implement this semester's messages: 1. Increase attendance (and FOM...

Avoid Promises
When God is blessing you with more than you can handle, I’d suggest you avoid making rash promises. I have seen many pastors make promises during times of blessing only to later eat their words (or be bound by a promise they wish they’d never made). ●We’ll never do a fundraiser! ●We’ll ne...

The Phases of My Faith
When God wants to change my life, he changes my perspective. As He reframes the way I see the world around me, I start to think and act differently. When it comes to my faith, three phases stand out as particularly formative in the continuing journey of becoming who God has created me to be. Phase...

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...

Heaven's All Around Tutorial
Life.Church Worship’s new song “Heaven’s All Around” is an expectant, bold invitation for God to come do what He wants to do in our lives and in the global church. It’s a reminder of His nearness to us and His intimate concern with the details of our lives. Use this tutorial to share the song with...
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...
Communications
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...

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...

Fully Devoted: Recording Live or in the Studio
What's the purpose of your project? It's a simple question, but it will help guide the creation of any new asset you're creating for your ministry. When it came to recording "Fully Devoted" to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of Life.Church, we knew that the purpose could be better served by record...

5 Days of Leadership with Pastor Craig | Day 5: Lead Yourself
Day 5: Lead yourself.The most important person you will ever lead is yourself. We've discussed leading and growing our church, but in this new year it's important not to forget yourself in the process. One of the biggest factors in growing as leaders is your inner dialogue. When you wake up and be...

Meaningful and Organized: Baptism Weekends at Life.Church
Baptism is one of the most memorable moments in the life of a believer. They’ve made the decision to follow Christ, and they’re ready to show the world what God has done. It’s a beautiful symbol of dying to their old life and being made into a new creation. Since it’s such a special occasion, we wa...
Leadership
Fasting From Church Stuff
For years I tried to learn from and be like other ministers. I listened to messages, attended conferences, and devoured every Christian book I could. Each time I met a new leader, I tried to become more like them. A few years ago though, God led me to do something very different. (I'm not neces...
