This weekend, leaders from City on a Hill Church are going to a Leadership Retreat in Massanutten, VA. We're going to spend all day Friday learning what good leadership looks like. Then on Saturday, we'll apply that knowledge and wisdom to strategic planning for the next 12 months at COAHC.I'm really looking forward what God is going to do through this retreat. We've got some great information to discuss from leaders like John Maxwell and Andy Stanley. We're going to look critically at everything we do as a church - no holds barred and no sacred cows allowed!
I believe that unless Scripture gives a clear formula for a particular ministry, then it's always considered an experiment and should always be up for evaluation and change. Too many churches get comfortable with what Andy Stanley calls "couches." These are the areas within a church that are comfortable for people and remain the same without any critical evaluation. We need to get rid of couches from the Church. They facilitate laziness and are ineffective in transforming lives.
Oh, and the home we're renting from Massanutten Vacations this weekend is called Joyful Passage. Gotta love it! Such a God thing...
