How do you define success? Church attendance? Financial status? Use this theme to see how God defines success and how you can put that knowledge to work in your church. You'll find helpful articles, comprehensive assessments, case studies, a devotional, and plenty of how-tos to help redefine and hone the mission and operations of your church and its leaders. Use them for your next meeting or retreat-just make as many copies as you need and hand them out. Also, be sure to take a look at the corresponding, newly formatted PowerPoint presentation to add a new dimension to meetings and retreats.
