One of the marks of a growing church is inspiring worship. This session shows how church leaders can design Christ-exalting yet guest-welcoming celebrative corporate worship. Recommendations for improving public worship are given so that God’s people truly encounter the living God. Timeless principles for God-honoring worship are explored.

Growing churches are marked by a robust network of small groups. How do leaders design a small group system that serves the mission of the church and binds the congregational together relationally? After showing that small groups are biblical and bring many practical benefits, this session gives lots of practical recommendations for designing and improving a church’s small group ministry with a goal of multiplying both group leaders and community groups. Many options and types of groups are explored.

There are no ready-made leaders. Most young churches lack enough leaders to expand the ministry. Rather than praying for God to send us leaders, God wants us to develop them from the harvest for the harvest! This session gives seven steps for developing a leadership culture within a congregation, young or old. It then warns of four crucial areas to carefully monitor for improving your leadership pipeline.
