I was reading Steven Furtick’s blog earlier this week, and he had a post on how growth happens at Elevation Church.  As soon as I read it I thought “If I had to describe what I would perceive as the perfect fit for me in ministry, it would be to help make what he describes here happen on a Sunday morning.”  Here’s the content of that post:

How Church Growth Happens:

We enable experiences and interactions that leave our people saying:
I love my church

So they’ll tell their friends:
You’ve got to come check out my church

The friends come.
We worship Jesus and preach the Gospel with excellence.

The friends leave saying:
I really like this church

Inspiring them to come back again and again until they say:
I love my church

And tell their friends:
You’ve got to come check out my church…
