Before you take creative risks, you need to establish a healthy worship culture in your church. We make worship about the creatives too often: Our voice, our sound, our songs, our production, and not about the voice of our people. There are seasons to dig deep creatively, craft new sounds, write new songs, install new technology, and pioneer new expressions. But maybe what you need right now is to simplify to help your church sing louder. Lead them to a place of full engagement and get out of the way. Then, when your worship culture is more established, you’ll have the foundation for more creative risks. This is the hard work of building trust with your people, helping them sing, and breaking down the invisible wall that exists between the stage and the seats. Creativity will thrive and grow out of a healthy worship culture. Start there. Then, what you create will be received because your church feels invited in. The goal of corporate worship isn’t your creativity and artistry. But it will find its place in a healthy worship culture. Lead people to Jesus and fade into the background. Thoughts?

You can engage with the Lord in new ways by meeting Him in prayer while walking. Whether you are praying around your campus or your neighborhood, you can set aside intentional time with Him while you pray over your community. Want to try out some prayer walk practices?

Five ways to see everything in your church through the eyes of your guests:

If you compare your local coffee shop or restaurant to the stillness of a friend’s house or a nature preserve, it underscores how spaces can affect us physically, emotionally, and spiritually, as well as why we choose to visit some spaces over others. - To dig deeper into this, Barna Group gave respondents a list of several life-related topics and asked, “Where would you feel comfortable having this conversation?” The one place U.S. adults, Christians included, consistently chose over others: a home. - What do you think is unique about a home that makes it most comfortable for sensitive conversations? What would it look like for the church to have more space that have those elements? - Get your copy of Making Space: Why Church Design Matters in Ministry by following the link below!

Few churches are gifted with a deep reservoir of talented artists and creatives. And yet, most of us want our churches to thrive in aesthetics and design. What are we supposed to do? How can we get started? First, be outspoken about your desire for fresh expressions of creativity in the church. Second, be clear that creativity is not a gimmick designed to lure people to church, but a manifestation of God’s image in us! (fossores.com has *lots of resources here to help if this seems daunting). Third, get the word OUT that you’re looking to build a team. This means letter your existing congregation know, but also creating social media posts that your people can share inviting people who don’t yet attend your church to help you launch this team. Be specific about what you’re looking for (graphic designers, interior designers, environment designers, filmmakers, and musicians are all good places to start). Finally, bring these people together and cast vision for what you want to do and how you’d like to proceed. Give them clear next steps so they can opt-in and help you with a project that begins within 2 weeks of that meeting and will blossom within the next 90days. Ministry is far more enjoyable when you can design it with great people. Don’t miss your opportunity to cultivate these relationships and these experiences simultaneously! *** The Fossores Chapter House is a retreat center where preachers, leaders, and innovators gather monthly to pray, to study, and to cultivate joy in ministry.
