Leadership
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...

Lead with Vision: Tips for Stage Communication
At Life.Church, Pastor Craig teaches the message every week via video to our campuses. But every campus has a campus pastor who is responsible for boots-on-the-ground pastoring to the people in that community. They take to the stage every week for what we call "stage time"—it's an opportunity to sha...
Leadership
Spirit-Led Instead of Model-Driven
Many pastors operate on certain models. There is the “seeker-sensitive” model, the “purpose-driven” model, the “emergent church” model, the “contemporary church” model, the “spirit-filled classic charismatic” model, the “small group” model, the “multi-site” model, the “missional inner-city” mod...

The Right People
Asking the right questions is necessary to get valuable feedback. It’s also important to direct the right questions to the right people. When it comes to feedback, not all people are equal. Two groups that shouldn’t always be trusted include: ●Your greatest critics ●Your greatest fans...

The Code: What Matters Most
The Code. It's what we call our set of core values here at Life.Church. This is different than our statement of faith—it has more to do with focus and perspective. As the church grew and changed over the years, we realized...
Youth
Switch Leader Training
Serving in youth ministry can be a whirlwind, but you’ve got what it takes, and we want to help equip you to be the best Switch leader you can be.

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....

A healthy church involves a lot of moving parts. Having developed ministry systems helps clarify what people should expect when they come to visit and how they can get more involved. The following videos will help you think through systems for things like visitor follow-up, recruiting volunteers, an...

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...

LifeGroups: What to Keep, Stop, and Start
It's a great practice for any area of ministry: ask yourself, "What should we keep doing, stop doing, and start doing?" In this training we take that "keep, stop, start" lens and apply it to our LifeGroups ministry. Hear some great practical examples about what's worked for us and what hasn't, and...

The Summer Slump
Most churches experience a summer slump. This can mean attendance drops, giving slows down, and volunteers don't show up. As leaders, what should we do during down times? Although I can’t answer the question for you specifically, I would say, “Do something intentional!" Here are some ideas t...
