CFTROU 0019: Building a New Church Culture, Not New Church Programs: Meetings

This is part two of our four-part series on “Building a New Church Culture, Not New Church Programs.” We are talking about our very favorite part of ministry at Family Church — meetings! Most people like to avoid more meetings, but we believe meetings are key to building a strong church culture. Plus, meetings can be fun and help build comradery on a team. When people call and ask for programming tips, we invited them to join us for our meetings.

Key Points:

  • Understand how to script and structure meetings.
  • How culture is built through meetings.
  • Having meetings to plan the meetings.
  • Why each meeting has an important purpose.
  • Building relationships, setting trajectory, and being intentional and accountable with
    your meetings.
  • Determining your meeting schedules and evaluating what is right for your
    organization.
  • Being strong on collaboration.
