Thursday, July 3rd, 2008I know there is a leadership book called The Leadership Pipeline. I’m not really referencing their work as I am just setting out to read it this week. What I mean by a leadership pipeline is that churches need to develop leaders internally.
A couple of years ago I heard McManus discuss the problem [...]
The Importance of Goal-Setting in Church Leadership
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008If you aim for nothing you will hit it every time
I know too many people in ministry who strive for nothing tangible. They are just doing activitity (in the hopes that ministry happens) but have no real aim. Sure they have some vague idea about making disciples, growing people in faith, etc. But they have [...]
Ministry Team Meeting
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008Sunday we had our monthly Ministry Team Meeting. This group is composed of those who are leading the different ministry areas of our church right now. In the last month I have been leading us to make the turn to focus on mid-range strategy (8-10 months). We only meet once a month [...]
LifeConnection Partner Connection
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008Sunday we started our first ever Partner Connection. It was a small group (8 or so) but a great group. I’m really excited about everyone who is taking part in that and look forward to what God will do from it.
As an aside: I think the Partner Connection Booklet turned out really well. [...]
Sunday Recap @ LifeConnection
Monday, June 30th, 2008Yesterday went really, really well. We worked out all our DVD issues. Here’s what we did (maybe it will help others):
We burned the disc on a higher quality dvd. No offense to Best Buy but we used their Dynex imprinted brand last week and it didn’t go well. This week we [...]
Serving Independence - Upcoming Events
Thursday, June 26th, 2008Matt Scott our Community Services Coordinator originally posted this at the LifeConnection Blog but I want to make sure everyone sees the upcoming events.
Hey everyone! Matt Scott here, resident shady-why do they let him hang around?-guy. Well, despite my reputation, I do have a few service opportunities to talk about that we can all be [...]
Partner Connection Begins Sunday!
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008You won’t want to miss out on our Partner Connection starting this Sunday (June 29th).
Partnership is LifeConnection’s terminology for what most churches call membership. And we see this as a significant step in your discipleship under Christ. The Partner Connection is required to become a partner at LifeConnection. This will be a great time to [...]
Sunday Recap @ LifeConnection
Monday, June 23rd, 2008Well, yesterday was…a nightmare (?). Would that be an accurate description? If nightmare isn’t the right word, certainly yesterday was an example of technology taking away from the message of the gospel, without a doubt. It could certainly be enough to turn anyone into an ardent regulative principle guy destroying all our [...]
Learning Through Evaluation 2
Thursday, June 19th, 2008Learning Through Evaluation 1
In part one I briefly described the general benefits I’ve seen for myself in my first attempt at a quasi 360 evaluation process.
In this post I want to process some of the specifics that I learned from the evaluation process. In some ways this is for my own benefit, writing like [...]
Learning Through Evaluation 1
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008In the last month I have had our Ministry Team take part in Self Evaluation and an evaluation of my leadership. I have never been a part of a former 360 degree evaluation process but like the idea of how it could make us better as an organization so this has been my first attempt [...]
