Monday is for “kingly” administration: Disciple-Making Delegation
November 29, 2010Monday is for “kingly” administration: Disciple-Making Venues
November 15, 2010Last week, I talked about disciple-making structures, emphasizing church gathered (attractional), church scattered (missional), and leadership development (training). This week I want to take a little different angle at disciple-making at discuss the three venues, namely large gathering (macro), small gathering (micro), and one-to-one (organic). A church with a healthy emphasis on disciple-making will leverage [...]
Monday is for “kingly” administration: Discipleship Structures
November 8, 2010It’s been a little while since my last post on “kingly” administration, but I thought I’d pick things back up again (after the prodding of several friends). The big picture of these systems has been along the lines of what I call the “commission continuum”. This is the “metaprocess” in the life of a “great [...]
The Hub and Spoke Paradigm
October 29, 2010A couple of days ago, I was asked in the comments thread about why and how our church worked towards increased delegation and decentralization in our church structures. In the church planting church community of PLNTD, I attempted to explain this in greater detail. I am copying my article here below for my blog community. [...]
Monday is for “kingly” administration: The Membership Process, Part 2
June 7, 2010Last week, I took up the first part of the membership process, namely the membership application and class. Today, I want to finish up the membership process by taking up the interview and congregational vote. It goes without saying that these processes are always being evaluated and subject to change as we look to discover [...]
Monday is for “kingly” administration: The Membership Process, Part 1
May 31, 2010There are four major components of what I call the “Commission Continuum”–that is the metaprocess of kingly administration from beginning to end. Those four components are assimilation, membership, discipleship, and leadership. I just completed the first component of the assimilation process and want to address the membership process in a couple of blogposts. Once regular [...]
Monday is for “kingly” administration: The Assimilation Process, Part 4 (Prospective Members)
May 24, 2010The Assimilation Process: Part 1: First-Time Guest Part 2: New Believers Part 3: Regular Attenders The fourth and final aspect of the assimilation process is the prospective member (I will launch into the membership process next). Membership in a local church may be a difficult thing for some attenders, especially if they think that it [...]
Monday is for “kingly” administration: The Assimilation Process, Part 3 (Regular Attenders)
May 17, 2010The Assimilation Process Part 1: First-Time Guests Part 2: New Christians In Part 3 of the assimilation process, I want to focus on those who are regular attenders but not in the membership process. Whereas in part two, people are seeking to understand the gospel, in part three, people are seeking to understand your church. [...]
Monday is for “kingly” administration: The Assimilation Process, Part 2 (Attenders – New Christians)
May 11, 2010I know today is not Monday, so I apologize for this post being a little late. Last week, I took up part one in the assimilation process, focusing on first-time guests. After people visit for the first time, there is typically an in between period where they are no longer new but also not in [...]
Monday is for “kingly” administration: The Assimilation Process, Part 1 (First-Time Guest)
May 3, 2010First of all, I want to say thanks to all of you who agreed to join in on these Monday discussions on church-related systems and processes (what I’m calling kingly administration). We are all learners and laborers together for church health and gospel growth, and I believe our churches will be better served when we [...]
Monday Is for Kingly Administration
April 26, 2010For the past two years, I have had the privilege of serving on the pastoral team of Grace Baptist Church. A major part of my work has been thinking through the nuts and bolts of ministry design and how we can be better stewards of the resources available to us for greater gospel advance. This [...]
