Church Leaders: What Business Are You In? How’s It Going?
This interactive session is going to focus on one of the more challenging seasons all of our churches have faced. Having had to navigate all that came through the COVID season, I believe there is a question that needs to be asked. As we tackle the struggles we are all dealing with, the question is…”What Business Are We In, and How Is Business?” (Drucker)
Takeaways include:
– Remember ‘what business we are in’ (mission) and talk about how we are evaluating ‘how is business’ (goal setting and planning)
– Gather input from the room on current challenges
– Help each other leave with ideas and resources to help in challenges we are navigating
– Connections made with other conference attenders to continue to conversations even after you go back home to helping one another accomplish the mission
