Effective Structures
|
The church is the living Body of Christ. Like all healthy organisms, it requires numerous systems that work together to fulfill its intended purpose. Each must be evaluated regularly to determine if it is still the best way to accomplish the intended purpose. A church can have wonderful ministries, innovative outreach programs, godly staff people, and a heart for God, but without effective structures, it will still be prevented from reaching its full potential for ministry. People will not know how to get involved with those ministries or access those outreach programs. Time will be spent duplicating efforts or expending energy in diffuse directions. Leadership development will be haphazard and inconsistent. By assessing the structures of a church, necessary realignments can be made that will help information flow smoothly and each part of the organization function effectively in its role. © Natural Church Development, used by permission |
