Author of “Reachable:7 Keys to Loving, Mentoring, and Leading the Next Generations.
Very interesting and I think wise move considering the next generations are increasingly suspicious of institutions as a whole.
A core value of the Global Methodist Church is to reduce the institutional footprint of the general church. Such an approach ensures that more financial resources remain at the congregational level, enabling local churches to respond to ministry needs in their mission fields. Additionally, members of local churches are encouraged to have greater ownership and involvement in the ministry and mission of the church globally. Since late March 2020, when the idea of a Global Methodist Church was first conceived, the nascent denomination has been governed by the Transitional Leadership Council (TLC). The TLC has stewarded the development of the Church during its transitional period; it will continue its role through December 31, 2024. However, during the GM Church’s convening General Conference in San Jose, Costa Rica, September 20-26, 2024, the denomination will adopt an entirely new general church organization to become effective by January 1, 2025, and the TLC’s service will come to an end.

I equip emerging leaders in the local church. I currently do so as an Assistant Pastor at Iglesia Reynolda Campus of Reynolda Church, EPC
Ministry is done as a team. It is the body of Christ in action. Thus we need to be careful toward forming, shaping, and being a team that is Christ-like. Do we hold others accountable and are we being held accountable? Are we character-focused or handing out power due to affluence and influence? These are a few questions this article wisely brings up for our practice.

I Help Pastors Grow Their church Without Burning Out Their Leaders or Using Complicated Marketing
🌟 Let's talk about a transformative principle for church growth: **connecting newcomers.** As a church leader, I know that reaching new hearts is essential to the health and expansion of our church. The impact of consistent invites goes beyond numbers – it's about changing lives and building a strong, devoted community. 🌟 It may feel daunting to step out of your comfort zone, but remember the words of Matthew 28:19-20: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations." Every invite is an opportunity to fulfill this great commission. Let's move people from decisions to discipleship and watch God's Kingdom thrive. 🙌🏽 #ChurchGrowth #ChristianLeadership #DevotedDisciples
