In Pursuing the Full Kingdom Potential of Your Congregation is an inventory entitled Congregational Issues for Generative Dialogue. This is a collection of ten issues congregations must understand and address to move forward in the direction of their full kingdom potential. I suggest you read this book, study these issues, and then ponder and dialogue about these questions.
- What are the implications of the average score of your congregational leadership on these issues?
- What do you believe your next positive steps ought to be in response to these scores?
- Out of the dialogue around these ten issues, what are the things that can be affirmed about the life and ministry of your congregation?
- What are the signs of health and strength in the life and ministry of your congregation?
- What are the greatest challenges facing your congregation with which you must deal to engage in a healthy spiritual strategic journey?
- How can these challenges be addressed by the things you can affirm about your congregation so that you focus on affirmation and building on that affirmation?
- What are the three issues that are the strongest among your congregation today? Are they the people issues of Pastoral Leadership, Passion, and Position?
- If not, where are these issues in the life of the congregation, since it is more important that we transition people than it is that we change things?
- Is your congregation driven more by Vision and Relationships than it is by Programs and Management?
- What are the implications for who is driving your journey as a congregation?
