All Church Training Resources
Think of your church like a car. You’ve got a steering wheel (your vision), an engine (your people), and wheels (your ministries). But without a fuel system to get everything moving, you’re going nowhere. That’s where core systems come in. They’re the behind-the-scenes processes that power your church’s health, growth, and mission.
- Vision and Mission: This is your GPS. It answers the why behind everything you do. Without it, you’ll end up driving in circles.
- Outreach: This is your fuel pump, bringing new people into your church. It’s about connecting with your community and inviting them to experience something meaningful.
- Assimilation: Once you have people in the car, how do you get them buckled in and on the road with you? This system helps people connect, serve, and grow.
- Leadership: Every car needs a driver. This system is about identifying, equipping, and empowering leaders who can keep your church moving forward.
- Staff and Volunteers: These are your mechanics who keep the engine running smoothly. A healthy staff culture and a strong volunteer base are essential for any thriving church.
- Money: Just like gas, money makes it all go. This system ensures you’re being wise stewards of your resources.
- Weekend Services: This is your showroom. It’s often the first impression people have of your church, so make it count.
- Evangelism: This is your marketing campaign, inviting people to experience the difference Jesus makes.
- Small Groups: These are your pit stops where people can refuel and connect with others on the journey
