Promise and Deliver
A couple of years ago, we opened a new campus, and on launch day had three times the attendance we were expecting. As a result, we ended up behind the curve on many things: • We didn't have enough LifeGroups. • We recruited new volunteers on the fly. • We needed more staff to fill in the gaps...

When the Wave Dies Down
Waves come and waves go. When God blesses your ministry with a wave of impact and growth, you’ll be wise not to expect it to last forever. (If it does, you’ll be an exception—not the rule.) If the wave slows, don’t try to recreate it. Those who continue to keep doing what used to work, generall...

If you’ve ever felt unequipped to handle tough pastoral conversations, watch our conversation with Dr. Kim Kimberling, a licensed counselor, as he shares best practices in providing pastoral care and helping attenders develop a relationship with a Christian counselor. This on-demand video was part...

Why It's Important to Track Church Data
Here at Life.Church, we put a lot of stock in gathering and analyzing data throughout the organization. We use Church Metrics to keep track of all the data that's important to us—like salvations, baptisms, giving, and attendance. But what's more important than tracking data is the heart behind it. I...

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...
Online Ministry
Don't Think You're Ready for Church Online? You're Ready.
In just 4 short days, City Light Church made the transition to fully online through the Church Online Platform. Lead Pastor Jason Rollin thought they were nowhere near ready to take on online ministry, but they have seen the benefit of taking that leap....

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...

Message Support: "Exponential"
When you make a choice, its effects ripple further than you can see. When you plant a seed and nourish it, it can grow beyond your wildest expectations. And when you add to the work God is doing, He can multiply it into something Exponential. This three-week series will teach your attenders about t...

The Three Reasons Why Team Members Fail
As a leader, nobody should want to see team members succeed more than you. But there are some people who simply aren’t the right fit for your ministry. According to Dave Ramsey, there are three reasons why team members fail in an organization. This video clip is part of the Stewardship Conference—...

The Key to Reducing Turnover
When you hire the right people, God will do more through your ministry than you could ever imagine. Learn from Dave Ramsey how you can keep top performers and form a cohesive team. This video clip is part of the Stewardship Conference—thanks to our partner, Financial Peace University, for sharing...

Five Ways to Increase Your Leadership Capacity
Capacity—it's how much you can handle and how much you can produce. When you have your first child, you think you're maxed out. All the diapers and crying are more than you can handle. But then you have a second and a third child—and you realize you're getting better and better at the things that...

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...

Should Your Church Start a Blog? - Unit 8
This training is all about helping you answer the question “Should our church start a blog?” Will it help you reach more people? Or drain more resources than you have to invest in it? To see the rest of the "Communications for Churches" course, click here!...

Message Support: "I Choose"
We are the result of our decisions. While we agonize over little things like what to wear and what to eat, are we glossing over the big choices? There might be more on the line than you thought when you say “I Choose.” This four-part message series helps us learn to be intentional about the choices...

Training Your Church
If you don’t train your church to know which boundaries are appropriate, you likely won’t have many. If you are the senior pastor, you can set the tone publicly. I’d suggest a few of the following: Publicly communicate when your day off is. Talk about how important that day is to your family. At...
