If you don't move to meet the needs of the culture you're trying to reach, your church will be, oh what's that word I'm looking for....oh yeah - DEAD!
You cannot continue to do the same ministry the same way you've done for 3, 5 or more years and expect to get different results each time. (That's the definition of insanity, remember?)
Churches that refuse to adjust their ministry to meet the needs of the community they serve will never be relevant to that community. You will be nothing more than brick and mortar. That really helps people meet Jesus, doesn't it?
CHURCHES, that means that you'll need to be training your people to DO the ministry that is right in front of you. You'll need to provide people opportunities to BE Jesus once you EQUIP them to.
Don't change the MESSAGE - but you'll need to change the METHOD! (Not new, just a good reminder for us all!)
