You'll learn how to transform great ideas into action in your ministry. "In our church, we've had to change what we measure," says Ken Fong, pastor of Evergreen Baptist Church in Los Angeles. "We no longer use size as our primary metric. Instead, we spend time and effort analyzing the compelling intangibles of the Spirit's work: devotion, love, and obedience." Read this paper to find out how some next generation pastors are focusing on more than numbers. Hungry Children in the U.S. A recent report released by the U.S. Agricultural Department stated that close to one in eight Americans struggled to feed themselves adequately even before this year's sharp economic downturn.

3 Geoff Surratt remembers the old-school approach to leadership development, where participants would sign up for multi-week, classroom training. It seemed not even the strong survived. "By the 39th week, two people would be left," says Geoff, executive pastor of Seacoast Church. "And neither one of them was leading anything." Dave Gibbons experienced similar bottlenecks in moving people toward missions ventures at NewSong Church. "People were sick of having to go through the gatekeepers to get involved with a cause," recalls Dave, lead pastor of NewSong. "In the opensource world we live in, everybody wants to play." These new realities are shaping the future of the church and sparking conversations--online and offline--that are generating ministry innovation. Church leaders who want to stay ahead of the curve are responding with digital-age solutions to modernday challenges in leadership, spiritual growth and service. Internet campuses, online leadership development and a "portfolio" approach to ministry involvement are just a few of the innovations that are emerging from church leaders and those they shepherd--with most of those discussions happening "after hours." "One of the things we noticed is that people want to engage 24/7, rather than just during a traditional Sunday service," Geoff says. "People connect when they want to connect." Based on that trend, the multi-site Seacoast staff also determined that people want to develop spiritually in a non-linear way. Rather than follow a step-by-step development process, Seacoast shifted to needs-based discipleship--all online at Participants choose online classes they want to take based on spiritual health assessments, and then they integrate what they learn through one-on-one conversations with a mentor. "Instead of following a path of steps A, B, C and D and then you're a devoted disciple, we've taken the approach of What's a need in your life right now?' " Geoff explains. "Do you need to grow as a parent? Do you need to grow as a husband? Do you have a need in a business area? It's all based on what people think they need to grow." Seacoast also has moved all of its leadership development classes to the same website. Small group leaders, coaches, ministry directors and even campus pastors across three states get all their training material online, then discuss what they're learning with a mentor. "Just taking a course on the Internet doesn't make you a leader," says Geoff, whose church is one of the pioneers in the multi-site movement. "But we pair the material on the Internet with someone who wants to invest in you and walk through it with you." When NewSong needed a way to get motivated members involved in a ministry cause, church leaders decided to become the "Charles Schwab" of ministry investment by launching At the site, users can peruse a "portfolio" of missions causes and go directly to the source of the opportunity. "People wanted more ownership, more say in the process of getting involved in a cause," explains Dave, who will release a ministry leadership
4 book in coming months entitled Monkey and the Fish. "So we let them choose and invest directly." Many current church trends are being shaped as the conversation "platform" becomes broader and more diverse, according to Greg Ligon, Vice President and Publisher for Leadership Network. While church leaders in the past got most of their good ideas by picking up the hottest best-seller at a Christian book store or traveling to a conference, leaders can now participate in a variety of forums for idea exchange--anywhere, anytime. "Conversations are happening continuously in multiple venues that are shaping the future of the church," Greg says. For instance, authors who contribute to Leadership Network's publishing arm conduct webinars that allow readers to ask questions, and Leadership Network hosts a Books blog that provides a place for authors and readers to talk about their books and others they are learning from. There are sample chapters of books available, and also links to hear each author talk about their books. Some authors also conduct seminars specifically on their book topics or host their own blogs and web sites. For a couple of examples, visit and Leadership Network also regularly hosts oneday forums for authors to discuss emerging trends and next-step challenges for the Church. "Our niche has always been to connect innovators with leaders who are going to advance their ideas," Greg says. "All of these new avenues are just another way to be the platform' that supports innovation and not the show." This online/offline model also fits with what leaders see as a key in an age of expanding digital conversations. "You need both," Dave Gibbons says. "You need to have an offline and an online synergy. The more you can engage the senses, the more the person being mentored will be developed."

Hungry Children in the U.S. A recent report released by the U.S. Agricultural Department stated that close to one in eight Americans struggled to feed themselves adequately even before this year's sharp economic downturn.
6 The department's annual report on food security showed that during 2007, the number of children who suffered a substantial disruption in the amount of food they typically eat was more than 50% above the 430,000 in 2006 and the largest figure since 716,000 in Overall, the 36.2 million adults and children who struggled with hunger during the year was up slightly from 35.5 million in That was 12.2% of Americans who didn't have the money or assistance to get enough food to maintain active, healthy lives. Church Produces "Top Ten" Movie With an all-volunteer, 1,200 person cast and crew, Sherwood Pictures--the name behind Sherwood Baptist Church (Albany, GA)-- produced the movie Fireproof, starring Kirk Cameron as a firefighter trying to save his troubled marriage. The film opened on 839 screens and grossed more than $6 million on opening weekend. It was the highest opening weekend box office of the year for films released on 1,000 screens or less. The Love Dare, a book featured in the movie, hit No. 1 on the New York Times paperback advice best-seller list, and is No. 10 among all books on Amazon.com. "We believe good stories can have a good effect," senior pastor Michael Catt says. "This film was made by a small army of people who poured into something bigger than themselves--not just a movie, but a movement to restore and uplift marriages across the country." For a current tally of income for the film, see
