Doing Unto Others

Davis maintains that ministry shouldn’t be about serving at church on a Sunday morning, because those people are already saved. Instead, it should be about doing ministry on the mission field and talking to people who are unchurched.

The Gift of Life

For the small church, a blood drive is an easy, no-cost way to give to others, and is perhaps more impactful and life-changing (and life-saving) than any amount of money could be.

Podcasting Ministry the Easy Way

By transforming livestreams into podcasts, ministries can transcend geographical boundaries and time constraints, and build communities beyond physical barriers.

After Easter, Now What?

What Are You Focusing on After Easter?

The real point of how many guests we all have at Easter isn’t about the size of our churches, its about the potential strength of the Body of Christ.

The Right People at the Right Time

Add a Personal Touch to Post-Easter Connection

I suspect more of us need to prepare for these kinds of conversations if we want to reach others. Don’t wait until next Easter to do this kind of study.

Rocket Pops and Disciples

Every Sunday is different. We look for opportunities to have cupcakes or cookies on Sunday morning. On 4th of July weekend, people get a rocket pop as they leave. We look for excuses to have those kinds of things.

Talk About Special

Access Christian Church emphasizes that everyone has God-given strengths and talents that need to be used in the kingdom. Therefore, church leadership has as their goal to give everyone the opportunity to serve.
