All the warning signs that it's time to re structure are related to a lack of alignment. Healthy churches begin by building a senior leadership team and streamlining strategic decision making. Stuck churches, on the other hand, build a flat leadership structure where every pastor and every staff leader is added to the team and reports directly to the senior pastor. And over time, this to an unmanageable span of care for the senior pastor and foster competition rather than alignment among ministries.

After working with hundreds of churches through the years on the issue of structure, it’s become clear that some staffing and structure strategies help churches accomplish their mission… and some do not.

This week, we're wrapping up our conversation around Signs You Need to Restructure with three final warning signs related to span of care issues and lack of team/ministry alignment.
