“Carry the LIGHT”

HOW TO BE SAVED and SERVING? 1) Recognize that you are a SINNER and need a personal relationship with God. 2) Never trust in what you can do to earn the gift of SALVATION Christ has for you. 3) SUBMIT to the Lordship of Jesus Christ by Repentance and Faith in Hm. 4) Ask for His grace for you to SERVE and follow & obey Him for the rest of your life.

EXPONENTIAL Thinking for 12,000 in 2010

Growing PAINS … [This section will be dedicated to EXPONENTIAL THINKING articles. This will prepare us for the 12,000 people we will welcome within 2010. Keep on reading and be challenged. Let FAITH Arise! — jr :-)]

Growth Barrier #1: SPACE Space is the most fundamental barrier we all face—and the easiest to overlook. The truth is that when a room reaches 70% of its seating capacity, it’s full — find a bigger space ASAP!

Growth Barrier #2: SELF-DEVELOPMENT Growing churches are led by growing leaders. So, if you’ve stopped progressing personally, your church is not far behind.

Growth Barrier #3: SHARING Churches stop growing when they become inwardly (instead of outwardly) focused. If you notice a decline in your number of first-time guests and an increase in discussion of inwardly focused programs, beware! You are about to fall victim to the sharing barrier.

Growth Barrier #4: Worship SERVICE Your weekly worship service is the front door through which people are introduced to your church. If not done correctly, it can become a big barrier. Suggestion: “To keep your service strong, always try to look like a church twice your size. If you are a church of 100 people, intentionally create a worship service that looks like it’s for 200 people! Take your preaching up a notch! Energize your worship time! Create the excitement that would be present in a bigger crowd. Moreover, it’s essential to get in the habit of looking at your service through the eyes of your guests and regular attendees.”

“Top 5 Growth Barriers”

BY NELSON SEARCY Growth Barrier #5: STAFF If your congregation suddenly doubled in size, would you have the necessary staff members to serve them? To keep your church moving forward, you will need to hire people on faith, so you’ll be prepared to receive the harvest God wants to send you. Hiring staff is truly a faith issue. Many pastors want to put off staff hires until they have the money in place to support the positions. Sounds like a practical plan, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work. You will never have enough money in advance to hire the staff you need. To overcome this barrier, change your perspective on what it takes to hire a new staff person. Say you need to fill a position that would require a $48,000 salary. Don’t look at it as a year-long position. Instead, think in three-month blocks. If you approach the new position as a three-month, $12,000 risk, instead of a $48,000 risk, you will be more comfortable filling it. Then, if the staff person you hire is good, the position will begin paying for itself after three months. When you approach staffing with a faithful heart, you’ll be much more prepared to handle the growth God brings you. All Grown Up In our journey (The Journey Church, New York) from 35 to 1,200, our church had to break through every one of these barriers—most of them more than once. Thanks to that process, I have come to understand that staying ahead of growth barriers is the most effective way of dealing with them. When we cooperate with God by taking action for His church, He will bless our efforts. As you learn to identify and diffuse growth barriers before they get you stuck, you’ll be able to keep your momentum and effectively expand God’s Kingdom for His glory.
