Make Ministry Fun
Taking Care Of What Matters Most
I grew up as a pastors kid.
Otherwise known as a “PK!”
One of the best things about it, was that my parents included me and my siblings in the fun stuff, not just the boring stuff, or the hard stuff!
Thing is, ministry life is tough enough without making it a drag.
I think my siblings and I caught a great heart for the beauty and value of ministry because my parents modeled the joy of the Lord in the day to day.
That's something I'm carrying on with my own kids!
For example, in about five minutes we are going to an arcade to play games for an hour and then get ice cream afterwards.
We've got a guest ministry couple in town and we invited their kids to come with them.
So, that means all the PKs get to go have some fun!
What's this have to do with church growth or leadership?
A lot actually.
It's about culture and values.
Keeping my kid's heart is more important than almost anything to me!
That's why we keep it fun.
Yeah, there will be days that are long and boring.
There will be seemingly endless meetings.
They'll get dragged along to lunches they wish they weren't at.
But they'll experience my wife and I leading in joy...and making minsitry fun whenever possible.
That spirit carries into everything.
Our church is called Joy Church and we want to live up to the name!
Especially with our first congregation...the 3 kiddos.
Hope that speaks to you as well.
Are you ready to break barriers, build a team, and get traction this year?
UpLevel Leader is a weekly coaching program where we laugh, learn, and sometimes cry together. It’s all about growing healthy churches and making disciples.
So, if you’d like hands on coaching to help you break your current growth barrier, create an incredible team, revitalize your mission, and see your church thrive I’d love you to join me and dozens of other pastors in the UpLevel Leader program.
Plus you get access to ALL of my courses including: Facebook Invitation System, Gust Follow-Up, Vision, and Kickstarting Church Growth.
Do you need community of like-minded leaders?
Do you need fresh ideas to get your church moving again?
Oh, and if your worried about the finances please don’t! We can show you how the program entirely pays for itself in as little as one month. We teach a simple (but incredibly effective) strategy for covering the very minimal cost of the program!
