TITHE … why? • WHY DO YOU TITHE? Probably it is because you are convinced already that the PORTION called the “TENTH” belongs to the storehouse of God — this is where the ability of any Church stands regarding supporting her staff, expansion endeavors, worship celebrations and basic requirements for letting the work of God move and influence the world around her. These are RESOURCES to AND from the STOREHOUSE of God!

• WHY DO WE TITHE? Before answering this question. Do you know that our Missions Department TITHE? Not only do they receive TITHES from all our SITES, they also are TITHING to others. Do you know that from our FACILITY Gifts and Donations, a TITHE is also taken from it? Where does it go? — BELIEVE IT OR NOT … it goes to Non-HLM projects & endeavors. In this present case, THE WHOLE TITHE of the Facility went to the “STOREHOUSE” of people who needed it the most — those who were battered by ONDOY’s FURY (a UNANIMOUS Management Team Decision). What if ALL churches around the world did the same? The glory is GOD’s & GOD’s alone!

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. As church leaders, we love full rooms, so we say, “Pack ’em in, there’s still a few seats!” But the truth is that when a room reaches 70% of its seating capacity, it’s full. Period. Here is a four-step exercise to perform frequently as your church grows: Step 1: Determine how many seats you have in your main worship space. Step 2: Multiply that number by .7 (70%). Step 3: Determine how many people you averaged in attendance over the last month. Step 4: Is the number in Step 3 greater than the number in Step 2? If the answer is yes, you’ve got to open up more seats, or find a larger location—FAST. At The Journey Church, I learned this lesson the hard way. Our first location in Manhattan was at a small comedy club-type theater. At capacity, the space could hold 110 people. Seven months after our launch, we were averaging close to 80 people each week; we would bump up to 100 every now and then, but our number would always return to below 80. Why? It’s because we were full. We just didn’t want to admit it. People stopped inviting their friends because they perceived there was no more room. Some regular attendees stopped coming because it was hard to find a seat. Eventually, we caught on and moved to a space that was three times bigger—and our church began growing again. I’ve seen many pastors of churches with fewer than 250 attendees start second services in an effort to circumvent this barrier. Starting a second service too early usually does more damage than good, so don’t think of it as an easy fix.

“Top 2 Growth Barriers”

BY NELSON SEARCY For example, let’s say a church of 120 decides to start a second service. Inevitably, one service will have 100 people and the other one will have 20— it’s impossible to equally divide two services, although careful choice of service times does play a part. Over time, the 20 people will be disappointed with the small crowds and filter back into the larger service. The better choice for a church of 120 is to find a larger space and grow to 300 or 400 before starting a second service. I encourage churches to be willing to move.

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. Jimmy Britt, pastor of Rocky River Community Church in Concord, N.C. (rockyriverchurch.com), recently realized the power of this truth. Jimmy had grown his church to 150 when he got stuck. After learning about the barrier of self-development, he set up a personal growth plan for himself, focusing on leadership ability and spiritual maturity. Sure enough, when he started growing as an individual, his church started growing again. An organization can never outpace the inherent qualities of its leader.

When a pastor isn’t growing: • The sermons are stale. • The congregation’s passion for ministry wanes. • The staff stops growing. • The church stops growing. An intentional reading plan is the single best avenue for personal growth. Set a reading goal that will stretch you—perhaps a book a month—and spend focused time in the areas of theology, church history and philosophy, in addition to reading your Bible. Also schedule time to attend key conferences and plan opportunities to seek out and meet with mentors. Personal development is essential not only for your own health and balance, but also for the growth of your church.
