My friend and mentor Rose write today on JesusCreed.org’s ongoing series of pastoral wisdom about “if you could begin all over again, what would you do differently?”
Rose co-pastors a church that I highly respect, and her post is well worth reading.
An excerpt:
Scot: If you could begin all over again, what one thing would you have focused on more? Or, put differently, what wisdom would you give to a new pastor if you were asked this question: What should I focus on?
Rose: I am going to make a couple of assumptions. First, I have a core team that is organized around a common mission. Second, that we agree that our faith community is to be a sign, agent, and witness to the Kingdom of God.
With those two assumptions in my pocket, I would focus on “growing a church big rather than growing a big church.” […]
The whole article is here. Rose blogs here.
This interview would be a really nice complement to what those of you coming over from today’s link to my post to church planters from ChurchMarketingSucks are responding to.
