Things Id Like to See.

After my long post I wanted to jot some notes about what I would like to see a church be/do.

The most important thing is to be "relevant"

Random thoughts.

  • Worship that fits the hearers

  • Ways to communicate outside of a "weekly meeting"

    • Web

    • Podcast

    • Vidcast

    • Twitter

    • Forums

    • SMS messaging

    • Online groups

    • Games (You know i had to get WoW in here someplace right?  :)  )



  • Non threatning leadership structure.

    • Co-leaders

    • Ownership (don't read to much into that, still needs some developing)



  • Not confined to a "traditional" time frame.

    • Have meetings when those who come can attend, not necessarily based on a old tried and true time frame.  Although not tossing out the old Sunday morning schedule either.  Being flexible to meet the needs of families that are very busy

    • Use online as a way to meet for those who are unable to meet regularly in a physical time and place.  But keeping them involved as much as possible.




More to come as I think about it. PLEASE leave a comment with your idea!  I want your feedback.  What would you like to see in a church?

    What would I like to see in a church?
    People willing to be 'real', not what they think you want to see/hear.
    A pastor who can teach and lay the history of the Word out to those who have never heard it before...
    A willingness to accept ideas from all age groups (young and old) and include those ideas in open discussion.
    A good music/praise/worship time...not too much, not too little, not too 'clap your hands on every song' and not a funeral dirge.
    Acceptance of who you are.
    Good fellowship (yes food too).

    Ok I was a volunteer staff member for 15 years at a medium size S.B. Church. I was director of the media department. Our job was to enhance the worship service with sound,& lighting along with full media production. During that time we had approximately 30 contates. A grate majority of the congregation approved of our work but there were some that aggressively objected, disliked, & ignored the presents or work of the department. It still bothers me today, but the important thing to rember despite the negative sols came to the LORD.
