Trinity Fellowship
I just finished two days at Trinity Fellowship in Sharpsburg, Georgia. We had a very productive time. I mentored the board, spoke to the church, taught the staff, then conducted a “brain-storming” meeting with the creative team.
The creative process is an amazing exercise. When I was the Executive Pastor at Church on the Move, I learned how valuable it is when leaders begin to “plow” through creativity. It was there that I learned the dynamic work of the Holy Spirit to impart His wisdom in our plans. Proverbs says, ”The ways of a man are deep waters, understanding draws it out.” It takes work to draw out of the deep cisterns of man.
”Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” (Proverbs 15:22)
The reason that most leaders will not use this amazing process is simply because it can be a difficult process if you don’t know how to make it happen.
We ended the afternoon with some very creative thoughts for their local fellowship that will increase their attendance by 20% by the end of the year.
