Shareable Quotes (#NewChurches):
- “COVID-19 has changed the scorecard for churches that are being planted.”
- “We have to be willing to look at unconventional venues, erratic patterns of meeting, and, on a realistic level, launches and launch teams are going to be smaller than what we might have looked at before.”
- “We are in a season right now where we are trying to wrap our heads around what it means to be a church attender.”
- “Giving is still a metric we are keeping a close eye on. Giving patterns speak to their commitment to the church.”
- “We want to create an environment where I can simply disciple our core team and that core team can help disciple the rest of our team.”
