Launching a Kingdom-Focused Church is a remarkable yet daunting calling. As apostolic pioneers spearheading these vital kingdom initiatives, there are 7 crucial priorities that must be the centerpiece of your strategy:
1. Cultivate a Christ-Centered Culture
"And he said to all, 'If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.'" (Luke 9:23)
Shape a thriving environment that reflects the values of Christ's kingdom - humility, servanthood, generosity, and a relentless passion to see lives transformed by the gospel. Foster an atmosphere where people are continually challenged to grow in their faith and align their lives with Christ's example.
Key Questions:
- How can we ensure that Christ remains at the center of all our activities and decisions?
- What practical steps can we take to encourage humility and servanthood among our leaders and members?
- How can we measure and assess the spiritual growth of our community?
Strategies:
- Implement a regular "Christ-centered" audit of all programs and initiatives
- Develop a leadership training program focused on servant leadership - Create a mentorship program pairing mature believers with newer members
- Establish a regular rhythm of corporate worship and prayer
