Nobody signs up for ministry to get excited about governance but ignore it, and you'll end up running in circles. In this episode we dive into the practical side of governance in ministry, why it matters for healthy church growth, and how to navigate common roadblocks.
- How governance and ecclesiology interact, and why your church DNA matters from the start
- When decision-making structures hinder ministry rather than support it
- Litmus tests for spotting governance issues, including meetings, budget allocation, and leadership capacity
- How to decentralise responsibility effectively while staying faithful to your theological convictions
- Practical strategies for legal compliance, staffing, and resource management to support growth
