My New Book, Creating Your Church’s Culture Releases Soon
Every church has a unique culture defined by its vision, systems, relationships, behaviors, and leaders. When the culture is healthy, it delivers consistently healthy outcomes that advance the mission of the church. But when cultures are unhealthy, or worse, toxic, they perpetuate constant dysfunction and derail the church’s purpose. To steer out of mediocrity and into a thriving culture with fully engaged employees and volunteers, pastors and church leaders need a clear roadmap with proven insights for change.
In my new book, Creating Your Church’s Culture, I give you the tools and strategies to move out of mediocrity into a healthy and energizing culture. You’ll learn how to:
- Define your culture
- Activate the Culture Equation
- Hire staff that fit your culture
- Infuse your values into your culture
- Create a learning culture
- Develop effective systems
- Increase employee and volunteer engagement
- Measure the health of your culture
- Uproot bureaucracy
If you’re a lead pastor, executive pastor, business administrator, staff pastor, church leader, HR director, non-profit leader or simply want to invest in the health of your church or organization, Creating Your Church’s Culture will help you take your next step. It also includes a practical assessment and implementation guide to help you apply what you’re learning.
