🍏"You can't enjoy the fruit of community without the root of commitment." 🌳 - Our team loved sitting down with Glenn Packiam at this year's State of Pastors event to talk about connection, the value of commitment, and how church leaders can inspire their congregations to plant deep roots that lead to community. Perspectives on Reclaiming Deep Commitment in Our Churches with Glenn Packiam is now available on our YouTube channel. - 📺 https://vist.ly/3bftm . . . #GlooConnects #Perspectives #Community #ChurchCommunity #Commitment

Senior Generosity Strategist...Generis, Where More than $17 Billion Has Been Raised for Worthy Causes Worldwide
I agree wholeheartedly with your perspective, #AlanWildes. #Fear and #obligation have been twin sisters in motivating #generosity in the context of #churchfundraising within which I do most of my consultation. Fortunately, with the slow realization among #churchleaders that using hell as a means of scaring people into acceptable religious behavior patterns or using "obligations" - as if God is going to punish you if you ever miss a weekly worship service - to motivate people to fill a pew or to give generously have proven to be bankrupt motivators. Oh, you can use these methods to seek to control the right actions, and many #churches, #churchleaders, #pastors, and #christiandenominations do. However, the outcomes never produce enduring results or meaningful lifestyle changes. I share Carey N.'s perspective. There are many ways people are engaged. That's where church leaders should begin to nurture #spiritualgrowth and involvement. I enjoy serving with you, Alan, on the #GenerisTeam. Take a look at Alan's important words here.
Engagement in churches has changed since 2020. Has the lack of engagement impacted giving in your church? Here are my thoughts. https://lnkd.in/ezZtj-Z6 #communityintersect

Every month I get the privilege of facilitating cohorts with some incredible leaders from organizations around the country on best principles, practices and postures of church engagement. Basically, we talk about how nonprofits can most effectively cultivate trust-based and mutually beneficial relationships with churches. We discuss a variety of topics, all within the big, overarching theme of this one thing: We are FOR the Church, not merely trying to get FROM the Church. That shift in posture creates an avalanche of implications on the ways that we approach, communicate with and invite churches into next steps. If you are a church leader, you know - this is not the norm of how nonprofits often approach you. They historically have had a FROM posture - we need your people, your time, your money, your pulpit, your bulletin...and your church van while we're at it! :) In May we're pausing those cohorts and hosting a webinar that will dive deeper into a particular aspect of church engagement that is especially compelling and provides a framework of thinking that becomes critically important to maintaining that FOR posture all the more. If this at all resonates with you and the work you do, I'd love to have you join us.

United for a Purpose... "Only a church united can bring healing and hope to nation divided." - Doug Stringer - The task is greater than we can accomplish alone. - Together we can have a greater Kingdom impact. I believe that our nation's 4.6 million first responders, and their families, is the greatest UNSEEN mission field in our country today. The problems we see across the country: 1️⃣ Isolation - among all who have a heart to reach them for Christ. 2️⃣ Discouragement – from little to no support, fruit, or examples to follow. 3️⃣ Lack of Awareness – for the first responder culture and the need to reach them for Christ, for what other ministries, chaplains, and churches are doing well, and for how first responders and their families can live out their faith. We believe a national networking conference and this alliance, has the opportunity to do what has never been done before, and begin to address these gaps within the body of Christ. September 20-21, 2024 in Chattanooga, TN. Don't miss this opportunity. Learn more and register online today: https://lnkd.in/eFGF58Xu #firstresponder #realhope #missionfirstalliance

Get Going After you spent time working on your values, mission and vision statements I want you to know that they are useless unless you begin to implement a strategy to put these into motion. But how and where do you get started? Aubrey Malphurs lists five elements for implementation in his book “The Nuts and Bolts of Church Planting”; community outreach, disciple making, team building, setting (location and facilities), and finances. While Malphurs will spend a good bit more on each topic he does give us some brief challenges to get us started. Remember you are planting in a community and you need to reach out to those who live there. Church planting isn’t about “moving the people from church to church” but rather seeing people come to faith in Christ through the message of the gospel. The next element, disciple making, will focus on helping these individuals grow in their new found faith. We will briefly at the final three elements next time.
