STEP 4 OF 4

Top 3 Greatest Needs

Discipleship

Our Great Commission is to make disciples of all nations. With the business of church programming, sometimes a church can lose sight of her primary mission and neglect the systems and pathways that feed it.

Evangelism

Churches do not reach people for Christ, assimilate them into the body-life of the congregation and disciple them in the rhythms of faith unless evangelism is a top priority. Let us help train your people in sharing Jesus clearly, consistently and compellingly.

Devotion to God’s Word

The divine strength or ability to help non‐Christians take the necessary steps to become a born‐again Christian.

Leadership

We believe that healthy churches are led by healthy leaders. To lead well, a church leader must pay careful attention to his or her own spiritual, mental/emotional and relational wellbeing.

Meaningful Membership

Local church membership matters. Sometimes church leaders need help evaluating or rethinking their membership processes.

Prayer

God moves in and through his people when they are devoted to prayer. A praying church is a powerful church; a prayerless church is a powerless church.

Reproduction

Faith in Jesus Christ is reproduced from person to person and church to church through the generations. Training the next generation of church leaders and planting the next generation of faithful churches are necessary, timeless endeavors for every local New Testament congregation.

Stewardship

Christians are expected by God to be faithful managers of what he has entrusted to them. Your church needs her members not just to be bought in but to be sold out. The Lord Jesus said, “Wherever your treasure is, your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21).

Unity

Other than the gospel itself, unity is the most valuable thing a church can possess. Consequently, it is also often the most delicate.

Worship

A healthy church is one that regularly experiences Spirit-filled, dynamic and participatory congregational worship. Worship lifts our heads and hearts together to Almighty God as our greatest affection and first allegiance.
