		<description><![CDATA[I recently re-read a booklet entitled, Culture Shift by Dr. Price Pritchett. One chapter was right to the point, in my view, concerning a common cultural characteristic in all organizations, but is especially prevalent in those where rapid change is the norm &#8230; like a growing church.

		<description><![CDATA[Looking for more creative ways to inform your congregation during services? There’s always tension between the need to get the word out about all that’s going on and the creation of “moments” in the service that inspire, teach, and transform. No service can afford a talking head for 5 minutes running through all that’s of [...]]]></description>

God called me to leave corporate to become part of the staff here at CCV and my desire, above and beyond my role on this church staff, is to put myself out there in service to other church leaders.

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve talked with many church leaders in my travels and have ongoing contact with many as well. One of the “areas of challenge” that comes up from time to time is what the church leadership should do about divisive people in the church. We’ve managed to document a number of policies and procedures around here [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since the beginning here at CCV, we’ve encouraged our staff to “put themselves out there!” We believe, beyond our own church, we are called to be a resource in our region … the northeast.

It&#8217;s been a while since I read a &#8220;business book&#8221; and I must say that I was not disappointed. I&#8217;ve been a little bit turned off by many of [...]]]></description>
