comment_post_ID); ?> Thank you Ed for sharing your insights into the Church Growth Movement. I have my reservations with Church Growth models because it has done more damage than good in the Body of Christ. Over the years, western churches are more focused on results, formulas and processes with little or no emphasis on membership and church discipline. Pastors and vocational leaders are burnt out because they're overworked. I do believe that the Church Growth model is a catalyst to two destructive groups: The New Apostolic Reformation and the Emerging Church. Both groups overlap and have a very loose definition. They're both focus on contemporary worship, expansion of church brand (franchising), and mobilizing volunteering members as 'leaders' to grow their ministry. Little focus on biblical study, apologetics and genuine missional work with no agenda besides preaching of the gospel.

Vision Recovery Process, Step 2: DEVELOP Your Strategy

by: VRcurator

Things are shifting everyday. The question everyone is asking, including your church, is when will everything get back to normal?

When will we get back to normal? No one knows. No one really even knows what the word ‘normal’ will even mean. What we do know it’s going to take longer than we anticipate calling on us to prepare for the worst and pray for the best. Church leaders will need to consider three very distinct planning cycles. The Disruption Timeline, introduced in our Better Web Series on April 14 and 16, depicts three phases of planning that results in three three unique planning rhythms.

In this week’s Better Future Web Series, join Jim Randall and Kent Vincent to consider the potential of instilling a “new normal” within your congregation. Learn about the Vision Recovery Process, Step 2: DEVELOP Your Strategy, on April 21/23 11am EDT/10 am CDT. Register for this FREE webinar here: https://auxa.no/2Xvbcdj

Three effective ways to start moving toward clarity right now.

Addressing the Bigger Question on Your Mind

by: VRcurator

When will things get back to normal?

Do we really want to go back to NORMAL?

In Tuesday’s Better Future Web Series, Auxano Senior Lead Navigators David Putman and Bryan Rose introduced Part 1 of the Vision Recovery Process.

There is a difference in “getting back to normal” and “getting back to normalcy” in your church. We are now in a season in which church leaders can consider, as we all yearn for normalcy, the potential of instilling a “new normal” within our congregations.

  • What if our families could stay connected?
  • What if our discipleship efforts could remain decentralized and outward focused?
  • What if being the Church could continue to outpace doing Church?

You can catch Part 2 of the webinar on Thursday, April 16 at 11am EDT/10am CDT.

Clarity Process

Three effective ways to start moving toward clarity right now.

Do You Want Normal or Normalcy?

by: Bryan Rose

There is a difference in “getting back to normal” and “getting back to normalcy” in your church.

The latter is a restoration of the rhythms and relationships found in gathering together as the Church once again. The former is a restoration of the habits and practices of doing Church as it was pre-COVID-19.

We are now in a season in which church leaders can consider, as we all yearn for normalcy, the potential of instilling a “new normal” within our congregations. What if our families could stay connected? What if our discipleship efforts could remain decentralized and outward focused? What if being the Church could continue to outpace doing Church?

Join Auxano Navigators David Putman and Bryan Rose on this week’s Better Future Webinar as they present a brand-new training tool, the Vision Recovery Process. In this two-part online training, attendees will learn:

  • How to process the timing around three phases of disruption
  • Key conclusions about disciple-making in a “new normal” of church life
  • Five critical steps to recovering your church’s disciple-making vision
  • Ten questions every church should ask every member this week

Part one will be Tuesday, April 14, at 11:00 am EDT / 10:00 am CDT, and part two will be on Thursday, April 16, at the same time. You don’t have to attend both, but we recommend reserving a spot here because space will be limited.

The last thing any of us needs is another talking-head driven ZOOM call, so Auxano promises that every Better Future Webinar will be super practical, immediately applicable, and founded on process tools that will make a difference in your leadership.

Thanks for you all you are doing for your congregation and community in this generation-marking season. We hope to see you right here on Tuesday!
