Deep dives
Honoring the Past and Serving the Next Generation
One of the key factors in a successful leadership transition is a church's ability to honor the past, live in the present, and serve for the sake of the next generation. This requires striking a balance between not dismissing or dishonoring the past, while also not getting stuck in it. Living in the present is crucial for experiencing God's grace and love. Additionally, success can be measured by the longevity of the new lead team, the health of the staff and church culture, and the ability to discern current culture in order to remain effective in ministry.
