Understanding and Accepting Congregational Identity

Understanding and accepting a congregation's identity is crucial for its success. Knowing who the congregation is and why they exist, in a particular and specific way, is vital. Thriving congregations have a clear sense of identity and purpose. Many congregations fail not by doing too little, but by trying to do too much. Narrowing focus can lead to more effective outcomes. It is essential to comprehend and embrace the unique characteristics and limitations of the congregation, focusing on doing small, consistent things well.
