Together5.Act Your Way into New Thinking6.Engage, Engage, Engage!7.Lead Outside the Lines8.Leverage Formal Solutions9.Leverage Informal Solutions10.Access and Adapt

1. Change from the ABCs . . .

2. Change from Church being about us, our family, our heritage, our power . . .

What Breaks God’s Heart in

Your Neighborhood?

. . . To being about our neighbors.

Ideas for

Meeting the

Neighbors

Invite local police officers or public school teachers to

preach/teach/share conversation

3. Change from being organized for maintenance and “improvements”

. . . to be being organized for

Spiritual Impact

Are our officers Ministry Managers or Spiritual Leaders?

What does it take to get

keys?

How Many

Hoops Do We Make

People Jump

Through?

Is our church about pleasing me/my

tastes in worship

Or

Is our church about reaching out to those

who are not yet connected to God?

If church about pleasing me/my tastes in worship,

If we reach out in hopes of getting new members who will then volunteer and

tithe and not insist on changing anything

we are missing the point

4. Change from A Culture of Serving the Institution

to Serving Others in the Name of Christ.

(No thank you.)

This is a Church.

5. Change from Going to Church to Being the Church.

This is a Church

Building.

The building is a tool for ministry.

(It’s not the ministry.)

6. Change from Business as Usual to Counterintuitive

Church

8. Leverage Formal Solutions

9. Leverage Informal SolutionsSamuel said to Jesse,

“Are all your sons here?” And he said, “There

remains yet the youngest, but he is

keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse,

“Send and bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here.” He sent and brought him in. Now

he was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and was

handsome. The Lord said, “Rise and anoint him; for

this is the one.”

10. Assess & Adapt

*We’ve Got to Love Our People

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you
