How to Neighbor: CarePortal
At Life.Church, we believe the local church is the hope of the world. That’s because the church isn’t just a building. The “capital C” Church is all about showing Christ’s love through its people. Scripture specifically calls us to care for orphans and widows (James 1:27). We looked closely...

Because of this philosophy, leaders at our campuses set aside time weekly to practice how they’re going to interact with attenders from the stage. We call this Stage Time Drills. A Stage Time Drill begins with a speaker doing...

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 o...
