1. Why create a Facebook Page? Facebook is such an incredible tool for any church that is looking to expand its reach, as well as create another landing page that is associated with its website. With over 500 million users, it would be foolish not to use this free platform. I wouldn’t encourage you to…
When I say The Church, I really mean us, the individuals who are called to raise, equip, and empower the next generation of Christ followers. It’s our duty to raise up new leaders, equip them with the right tools, and empower them to lead where they are called. Every year we see more and more young…
1. It’s getting too big. When any church is faithful in their strive to fulfill “The Great Commission,” you can’t help but expect lives to be changed, and church growth to inevitably take place. To leave a church based off growth, is to simply deny an opportunity to praise God’s hand upon it. This isn’t to…
It’s nothing new that we live in a consumeristic, media-driven, fast-paced society that likes to have the newest, biggest, and coolest the moment it’s available.

When churches are hiring to fill a position, the yearning to find someone with a positive outlook on life will always be put on a high pedestal. 2. Humility. Pride comes before the fall, and pride…
Today I walked into another home. Not just any home, but a home in the rural hills of Armenia. The house was full of dust, and the cracks in the walls screamed for care and attention. Although the floor was full of dirt and rubble, the glow on the faces of those who lived in…
