Teams are the preferred approach to ministry in the Bible. Every person has a ministry S.H.A.P.E. that suits him or her for particular areas of ministry. People serve best when given a ministry slot that corresponds to their shape -
Values are those core beliefs that distinguish a church and anchor it in the Word God. Vision is a clear and challenging picture of the future as you believe it can and must be. Together values and vision drive the ministry of the church forward. -
People value that which is costly. People do not value church membership because it costs them nothing. Raise the membership bar, require pre-membership classes, and clearly outline what is expected of those who join the church. -

Only God can make a church grow. But we can create conditions favorable for growth through clarifying the essentials, giving away ministry to others, utilizing small groups, focusing outward on your community and teaching people how to tell their story. -

The making of disciples lies at the heart of the church’s mission, but it has been replaced by ineffective programming in many churches. Church need to simplify and restructure their ministries so each activity contributes to achieving the church’s mission of making disciples. -
Discipleship involves growing people to spiritual maturity. In order to produce mature disciples a church must know what a disciple looks like (characteristics), what it wants him to know (doctrine), what changes it wants to see in his life (habits) and what it wants him to be able to do (skills). -
A ministry plan is a road map that guides a church from where it is to where it wants to be. Churches often don’t grow because they do not have a plan for growing. This class shows how to identify goals, critical mass points, and action steps to be taken in developing a plan.
