Growing Strategies
If you’ve ever been a part of a fast-growing church, you know how much fun it can be.

But here are 5 of the biggest mistakes I've seen fast-growing churches make:

How can you increase generosity? This is a question church leaders across the globe are wrestling with. They want their ministry to grow. They want giving to increase. They want to successfully fund capital campaigns. But they're not quite sure where to start. Unfortunately, this often leads churches to neglect intentionally building generosity.

When I look back at my own personal journey, I am often reminded how confused people are about the defining moment of a capital campaign. Many pastors think it is the public launch of the campaign sermon series. This is a significant moment. But, it is not the defining moment.

This is when people bring their pledges or intentions for the church’s future as a measurable expression of what God has done in their hearts. That is also a very significant moment. But, it is not the defining moment.
