SLOGANS FOR CHURCH LEADERS

These radical sayings sure have a ‘kick’ to them! They come from inspirational spiritual leaders via Carey Nieuwhof of Connexus Community Church in Barrie. Are you willing to embrace the radical? – because that is what it will take to do church successfully in the 21st century!

· If you are going to reach people no one else is reaching, you are going to have to do things no one else is doing.

· When your memories exceed your dreams, the end is near. Church life sometimes feels like its 90% nostalgia, not 90% vision.

The next generation’s visionary accomplishments almost never come from the previous generation. You can fight the next generation of leaders, or you can fund them. You can stifle them or you can inspire them.

· Focus on the people you want to reach, not the people you want to keep. This requires a heart for the prodigal generation. It also requires those who are ‘here’ to work not watch.
