January 16, 2010
The situation in Haiti is catastrophic to say the least. And, many of us are asking, “How should I respond?” Based on the information I’m getting, the very best thing to do for the people of Haiti is to give sacrificially to a Christian support effort. Donating to Lifeline Christian Mission will literally provide assistance immediately. [...]

October 16, 2009
How many people do you know that enjoy going door-to-door? If you’ve done this yourself you know what I mean. Regardless of the purpose, spending a day going door-to-door takes courage and is not usually much fun. Every year here at Christ’s Church of the Valley we spend several days working on our Strategic Plan. The [...]

August 2, 2009
Much like Kids’ Camp, STRETCH is a summer time growth event. This year it was STRETCH Out Loud. Everything I described in my Kids’ Camp post applies to STRETCH. The difference is in adjusting everything to appeal to a Junior High School student. Everything from what’s happening outside in the field to the music and [...]

July 31, 2009
One of the challenges every growing church faces is the difficulty of continuing to grow through the summer months. My experience has been that this is definitely true in the northeast. I don’t understand it completely, but it seems like everyone is gone on the weekends. Around here, I think they all go to [...]

January 17, 2009
We have all heard it. In order to get the whole family involved in the church, in every way, we must "market to women and program for men." Why? Women are statistically the most likely to try out a church and will get involved first. But, it's not until their husband begins to come regularly [...]

August 14, 2008
Since joining the staff at my church I’ve found it challenging to stay connected to people outside the church. As a corporate guy I obviously spent my whole day working with people outside of the church, many of whom very far from God. Now, I really have to work at it. For more than 4 [...]
