THE SHIFT - GRANITE UNITED STRUCTURE CHANGE

By -
Through the years as GRANITE has GROWN NUMERICALLY it has been imperative that we as an organization work to stay in front of the growth so that we can SUSTAIN OUR GROWTH and keep pace with what THE LORD IS DOING IN HIS CHURCH.  What we've discovered through the years is whenever we allowed our church to HIT ATTENDANCE LIDS we usually experienced A DECLINE IN ATTENDANCE.

Why THE SHIFT?  One of the things we have said for years at GRANITE has been WHAT GOT US HERE WONT GET US THERE.  So up until recently we have been a LOCALLY DRIVEN STAFF and now we have SHIFTED to a CENTRALLY LED STAFF.  

Believing that THE SHIFT in our STRUCTURE will enable us BREAK BARRIERS, SUSTAIN GROWTH and REPRODUCE MORE CAMPUSES.  Let me give one of the biggest advantages THE SHIFT in our leadership structure brings to the table.

Instead of everything resting on the shoulders of our CAMPUS PASTORS we now have a CENTRAL LEADERSHIP TEAM to give FOCUS and DIRECTION to SPECIFIC MINISTRIES.  Meaning that instead of our CAMPUS PASTORS needing to be all things to all ministries, they now can focus on REACHING and KEEPING PEOPLE.  THE SHIFT is a huge win for both CAMPUS PASTORS and our LOCAL TEAMS.  

So whats the point!  The point is as a GROWING CHURCH we have very comfortable with being uncomfortable knowing that we don't have everything figured out, but we are committed to GROWING FORWARD TOGETHER in order to BRING OUR REGION TO JESUS!  

For our GRANITE LEADERSHIP TEAM lets never forget WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER!

NOTHING CAN REPLACE THE LOCAL CHURCH

A pastor friend of mine and I were talking about the season the LOCAL CHURCH finds herself in right now. After our conversation he put this little slide together which is so true. Just remember this isnt burning on other GREAT MINISTRIES and PASTORS but those ministries need to be more like a 5 hour energy drink and not your main meal. Everyone needs THE LOCAL CHURCH and YOUR LOCAL CHURCH needs you. And more importantly THE LOCAL CHURCH is GODS PLAN for every Christians life. STAY CONNECTED...

COMMUNICATION IS MINISTRY

By -
COM·MU·NI·CA·TION   - 1. the imparting or exchanging of information or news.   synonyms:       transmission, conveyance, divulgence, disclosure; More   2. means of connection between people or places, in particular.  (dictionary.com) Sounds simple and yet it's one of the major reasons why RELATIONSHIPS BREAK DOWN - whether those relationships are personal or professional.  But the opposite is also true when there is a commitment to COMMUNICATION the results can be OUTSTANDING!  Dictionary.com says COMMUNICATION is the MEANS OF CONNECTION BETWEEN PEOPLE.   What does that have to do with MINISTRY?  Answer...EVERYTHING!  There is NO, let me repeat, NO real, meaningful or lasting ministry without COMMUNICATION.  By the way COMMUNICATION is not PREACHING AT PEOPLE its CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE.   Remember the old saying, People don't care how much you know until they know ...

THE POWER OF CAPTURING MOMENTS IN MINISTRY

By -
Last night in a CP meeting we discussed THE POWER OF STORIES - as I was reading this morning I was also reminded how important “pictures” that create conversation is to THE LORD.  Check these verse out… Joshua 4:6-7, “ 6  We will use these stones to build a memorial. In the future your children will ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’  7  Then you can tell them, ‘They remind us that the Jordan River stopped flowing when the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant went across.’ These stones will stand as a memorial among the people of Israel forever.”  NLT A few things about capturing picture and videos on weekends…  They capture the moment They create conversation They intrigue the next generation They EXHALT GOD They remind us of GODS POWER They remind us of GODS FAITHFULNESS They encourage us in FUTURE OBEDIENCE They remind us that GOD always keeps HIS PROMISES They give us a reference to LOOK BACK on for FUTURE FAITH They encourage us to STAY FAITHFUL even in ...
