A few months ago I read Craig Groeschel’s new book, It: How Churches and Leaders Can Get It and Keep It. In the book, Groeschel says “IT” is what God does through a rare combination of passion for His presence, a deep craving to reach the lost, sincere integrity, Spirit-filled faith, down-to-earth humility, and brokenness. He then articulates a number of qualities that contribute to “it” in a local church including vision, divine focus, unmistakable camaraderie, innovative minds, willingness to fall short, hearts focused outward, and Kingdom-mindedness. Throughout the book, Groeschel also highlights a handful of churches that God is using. One of them is National Community Church. He says, “The leaders of NCC fight against becoming what they call a closed system. They never want to limit their learning to what they know. The leaders of this innovative church refuse to do ministry from memory.”
