Maximize Your Church by Maximizing Your Systems (Part 1 of 4)

Here’s the hard truth: Your church is not currently realizing as much of its potential as it could. There’s always more you could do.

As a pastor, you live with the constant tension between where your church is and where it should be. All pastors do. Average pastors get comfortable hanging out in the divide between current reality and ultimate potential, reassuring themselves with little white lies like; “We’re doing all we can. This is what God has for us.”

“Renegade” pastors, on the other hand, use that tension to propel themselves to continually higher levels of influence and impact. They constantly ask questions like; “What can we be doing better? How can we more fully cooperate with God to grow and strengthen this church?”

To cooperate with God in positioning your church to have the greatest impact possible, both on the people within it and on the community where you minister, simply decide to maximize your church. How? By maximizing the systems that hum beneath its surface.

Tune in next week where I’ll define what a system is and how you can use it to maximize your church.

Your partner in ministry,

Nelson
