Church Online: Different Lobby, Same Ministry
No matter the "lobby"—whether it's a brick-and-mortar church building, a mission, a shelter, a park, an orphanage, or a grocery store—the ministry is always the same. As pastors, church leaders, and fully devoted followers of Christ, we're able to bring our mission field with us wherever we go. For...

The New Normal: Physical + Online Ministry

Watch this four-minute video from Pastor Sam Roberts, Campus Operations and Leadership for Life.Ch...

Lead Pastor: How 'Keep, Stop, Start' Can Focus Your Ministry
Over the years, we've learned that while everything may be good, doing everything at once is not always best. Through a principle we call "Keep - Stop - Start," we've developed a way to spin up and wind down projects so we can focus on our mission of leading people to become fully of Christ. In this...

Church Online: Purpose
Ministry may not always be easy - that's why its important to remember your "why." What is your purpose? Why did God call you? As Jesus endured all that he did, he reminded himself that his suffering was for our benefit. Hear this video from Church Online Pastor Alan George and discover your "why."...

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...
Communications
Three Cs of Communication
In ministry, there are so many forms of public speaking, and it can be intimidating to practice. These three tips from Life.Church Campus Pastor Chris Beall are the perfect place to start practicing—and refining—your public speaking skills. For more on communications and public speaking, check out...

Lesson Learned: People Before Policies
In any ministry—especially kid's ministry—there are often too many rules and policies to keep track of, and it's easy to get bogged down by all the procedures. If and when that happens, take stock of your priorities and bring it to God. If the rules and policies are getting in the way of safe, meani...
Leadership
New Seasons Means New People
When a ministry enters a new season, we must open the door for new leaders. The “old guard” often resents new seasons. I’m a big believer in working hard to lead the tenured believers toward new life. Sometimes, though, they refuse to move forward. In those times, we have to help people grow...
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...

Leadership
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,...
Leadership
The Death of the Five-Year Plan
When I started in ministry two decades ago, everyone I knew was making five-year plans. While thoughtful planning is wise and biblical, I’ve changed how I plan. Instead of planning for specific buildings, campuses, staff roles, and outreach, I plan to be prepared for opportunities that I can’t...
