Are People Having Fun at Your Church?

May 9, 2005 in Leadership with 2 Comments

Now that I read the article in print, I think I sound a little preachy. Sorry about that. Here’s my latest article from the May edition of The Church Report. Let me know how you’d respond to the question: Are people having fun at your church?

    Tony,

    I am thankful for a church where people line up outside the auditorium doors and race for good seats as if their at a U2 concert. What an amazing opportunity to see people excited about Jesus.

    I don’t think it sounded preachy.

    Many churches that have been around for more than a few decades (and some that have not) struggle with some of these issues. For some, it seems to be more about rules and maintaining the status quo than a relationship with Jesus and an encouraging, fun environment where healing and transformation can take place.

    If we could only implement mass change throughout the mainline denominations and elsewhere, then what a more powerful force we could be for God.
