The 80's rock band Journey had a great song entitled Don't Stop Believin'. I love that song. Whenever I hear that song, I can't help but think of one of my mantras as a leader which is Don't Stop Learnin'.
I truly believe that we should never stop learning. When we stop learning, we may as well not get out of bed in the morning. It doesn't matter if we've been a Pastor for 50 years. Still, there is always something else to learn.
One of the most important ways to learn is through someone else's experiences. Today, I'm participating in the IMPART conference at Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC. Elevation Church was listed as one of the top ten fastest growing churches in the USA last year. In less than three years, this church has grown to over 5000 people. The Sr Pastor of this church, Steven Furtick, wants to impart the valuable lessons he's learned to others. What a great idea!
I spent my own money to come to this event because I believe the experiences this church has had in the last few years can be valuable to me as a pastor and valuable to City on a Hill Church. This is an investment for me and for COAHC. I'm excited to soak in every detail that's shared in order to glean the transferable concepts.
