Depending on your definition, most churches fall into the category of established. Thankfully, It is no longer uncool to lead an established church. Thom and Sam talk through five often-overlooked benefits of established churches.
- Current revenue stream (you have at least some resources)
- Predetermined location (you already know where you are called)
- The existing commitment level of people (belonging to a church)
- Existing facility (roof over your head)
- Rhythms and patterns of programming (volunteers in place)
Resources mentioned in today’s podcast:
- How Your Church Can Reach People In a Post-COVID World Ebook
- Revitalize Network
- Cosco & Associates
- Free 30-day trial Church Answers Silver membership
