In this video, Life.Church Stillwater Campus Pastor Cody Chaloner explains how you can "lead up," bring a new idea to your lead pastors, and influenc...
Staff Development
Developing Staff: Bring In. Build Up. Train. Send Out.
The purpose for our staff here at Life.Church is to bring in, build up, train, and then send out. We recognize that great staff aren't found but developed in the right environments. That's why we create those environments and bring people in. While they are with us, we build our staff up and train t...

Worship Team Structure at Life.Church
One of the questions we get here at Life.Church is how we’re able to keep 28 campuses (and counting!) across the country organized and consistent. The truth is that we couldn’t do it without our incredible teams, so we’re very intentional about how we approach team construction. This is especially...

Communications
Tips for Establishing a Communication Review Process
Below you'll find our best practices for the communication review process here at Life.Church. Operations Pastors/Associate Operations Pastors should monitor written communication without being a bottleneck—working more like a consultant than a content creator. Talk to your Campus Pastor about wha...
Leadership
Leading Into the Future
When I want to lead into the future, I usually look into the past to see what I can learn from any patterns. Sensing it was time to make some changes in our church culture, I prayerfully reflected over the different seasons of our church.I noticed a distinct pattern that repeated itself at least se...
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...
Leadership
Following the Recipe
It’s not unusual for ministries to take a close look at other churches. Often, they’re in search of the recipe for success. It’s great that churches can learn from each other. Our church has certainly been helped by it, and we hope other churches have found value in what we’ve been able to offe...
Kids
Setting Capacity and Leader Ratios in LifeKids
Excellence—it guides everything we do at LifeKids. It’s why we created the Excellence Walk Checklist. It’s why we carefully craft our curriculum. It’s why we never settle for “good enough.” And that includes our capacity for kids rooms. We get a lot of questions about how we determine leader-to-ch...
Leadership
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...

Church Online: Reaching Past Physical Limitations
What we've learned: As Earth's population grows by leaps and bounds, God has equipped the modern church with tools that never before existed. It's our duty to do what no one else is doing in order to reach the people no one else is reaching. That's why we're so passionate about leveraging techno...
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...
