Streamline: How To Create Healthy Church Systems

You are confident of your calling. You are leading a church with an important mission. Youve got a carefully worded vision statement, a set of core values, and leaders who say they want to make it happen.But does it feel like youre not making any real progress? Does it feel like youre stuck solving the same problems over and over again? Does it seem that youre always talking about potential, or tomorrow, or after the next hire?After twenty years in ministry, Ive learned that passion isnt enough.You can have a clear mission, but without organization you wont get everyone moving in the right direction. You can preach the vision, but if you dont have a clear path ready for people, your vision talk will be just talk. I bet you dont have a mission problem, or a facility problem, or even a volunteer problem. I know its trendy to talk multi-site, and popular to run a 40 day campaign. New service times, new programs, and new websites are like candy that captures attention in the checkout aisle. But its likely these arent the issues holding you back. You can start new services and hire a branding company to create a new website, and in three years from now youll likely be in the same place.Thats because youre knee deep in a system problem.
