A couple months ago, I wrapped up reading Change your Church for Good by Brad Powell. I found it to be a very encouraging and highly practical when thinking about ministry. It is a story of a pastor’s journey to lead his church from one stage of life into another, but the majority of it can be applied to any ministry setting.
In all of my time in Student Ministry, there is always a motion towards change. The students are always changing and the culture surrounding students is always changing. So for me, I have gotten used to change. It doesn’t bother me and I have actually grown to like change very much.
This book was encouraging to me as I seek to push into my leadership and volunteers a desire to stay relevant to our students and always seeking for new ways to reach them. My hope is the church of God would stay grounded in Christ, but always change our practices to reach new people.
