Have you ever wondered why some churches are dynamic and some seem to be stuck? There is nothing quite as exciting as when your church is vibrant and alive with God working. If you are a Pastor, this is what you live for: Watching God bring people to himself; seeing marriages and families repaired; having people want to seek after depth with God; and experiencing people volunteer to serve God. If you are a Christian, this kind of church draws you like a magnet. Who wouldn’t want to attend a church that pulsates with health and the life of God? The question is usually how do we get God to be actively moving in our church like that?
Pastor Gil has studied, led, and consulted with enough churches that he can confidently say God wants your church to be vibrant and alive with His love. The problem is not on His end. Vibrant and Healthy churches are not a mystery; they have allowed God to work through ten specific systems in the life of the church. Yes, a church has ten systems that operate behind the scenes that allow God to flow to and through the people of that church. If the systems of a church are stuck or blocked, then the church is stuck or blocked. Pastor Gil has watched as churches unplug a system or two and begin to experience God adding to the power or size of their ministry. The typical pastor and church that learns the LEADERSHOP System© experience a doubling of their church in twenty-four months. And far more importantly, they are seeing God begin working in and through the church in powerful ways. What are these ten systems, and how do they work in the church?
