The internal culture of a church is more powerful than its vision when it comes to making disciples and transforming your community and the world beyond.
Internal culture is shaped by a church’s unique DNA. But sometimes pastors and church leaders find it hard to describe their uniqueness and then communicate it to the broader membership and community.
Jeff Jones, senior pastor at Chase Oaks Church, in Plano, TX, describes their internal culture as “What Makes Us, Us.” “Our uniqueness doesn’t make us better than another church, just unique. It is who we are.” says Jones.
Over the last 18 months Jeff has led his church to both identify and communicate their uniqueness. They profiled ten DNA “markers” that shape Chase Oaks’ culture and are finding ways to communicate their culture throughout the life of the church from Sunday sermons to Life Group discussions to hands-on missions.
Jeff will discuss “What Makes Us, Us” and creating a healthy internal culture on the June 19th Pastors Resource Call.
