Having meetings to plan the meetings.

CFTROU 0018: Building a New Church Culture, Not New Church Programs: Messaging
This is the first in a four-part series called “Building a New Church Culture, Not New Church Programs.” In today’s episode, we talk about the importance of messaging. This series includes Family Church’s Communications and Executive Staff Director, Leslee Bennett. We are excited about this series because it is part of the Family Church secret sauce. Other churches often ask about our programs, but we focus on culture more than programs. In today’s episode, we talk about how we build culture through messaging and developing common language.
Key Points:
Why culture will define the success of what any church is doing.
The importance of preaching to lead, not preaching to preach.
Why common language is best disseminated from the pulpit.
Developing strategy and incorporating vision and values in your preaching.
How developing consistent common language for churches is crucial for developing
culture.
The importance of a pastor/leader setting an example through his own life and family
life.
Being real, authentic, and intentional as a leader.
What matters more than anything is the culture that you’re building.
