wednesday updates

We had a great conversation in our Senior Management Team meeting this morning. The reason I love this type of conversation was because it was all about our vision at Foothills Community Church.

Here are some bullet points about what was discussed:

** Sunday mornings are a huge front door to the church.

** Our services need to be engaging and creative.

** The D.N.A. of Foothills Community Church is a church that is a lot of fun. A place where the unexpected is expected, and where lives are changing.

** We must always see our services through the eyes of the first-time guest.

** It is possible for services to become too slick.

** Humor is a good thing.

** People generally view the church from the vantage point of what they experienced the first time they attended.

** People are seeking a connection with God at some level every Sunday. They are wanting to be more than entertained; they want to be engaged!

** Are we taking enough risk?

** When people are excited about the church, the overflow is inviting their friends.

** How important are lost people? Really?

** Are we willing to tick off the religious for the sake of those that don't know Christ?

** Our best days are still ahead of us!

** The people that attend Foothills are the most amazing people on the planet.

** We need to spend money on things that will help us reach people!

In case you can't tell, I am fired-up about what's coming up at Foothills!
