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 Ministry: Know, Feel, Do
What we teach in our kids ministries is obviously extremely important, but the environment we create for our kids is almost just as important.

Staff Development
Being Open-Handed with Our Staff
We believe our greatest resource is our people, our staff, and it is our job to steward them well for the season they are with us.

3 Values that Lead to Evangelism
“How do I inspire my church to be involved in evangelism?” At Alpha, that’s the one question we most often hear from church leaders—and it’s an important one for a couple of reasons.

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.

Good Social Media or a Prideful Heart?
We know God opposes the proud. But some forms of social media seem to have redefined what pride is and what it’s not. For example: Imagine if I stood before our church and repeated things I had heard others say: “Joe Smith said, ‘Pastor Craig, you are the best preacher ever! Your sermons change...

How Do You Handle Criticism
One of the most common questions that I’m asked by young pastors is, “How do you handle the critics?” I’ve realized that no matter what a leader does, he or she will be criticized. For example, I’ve been criticized a lot for building the church around my preaching. When I started using more tea...

But, how do you use volunteers as part of your social media team? Volunteers can play a variety of roles on your social media team, depen...

Kids Ministry: Creating Cohesion Across the Ages

Be Unreasonable
I bet you have heard this many times: “be reasonable.” Truthfully, under many circumstances, “be reasonable” is sound advice—but not always. As Christian leaders, there are some times to be unreasonable. • When you pray, you might ask God to do something most would consider impossible or unrea...
