Take away the “Senior Pastor,” his stage, his pews, his “worship” team and his building … And what’s left? Perhaps, God willing … The beginning of “church” as actually taught and shown in the New Testament. #SimpleChurch

Churches focus on meetings, hoping community will happen. It seldom works. What, instead, if churches were communities where gatherings happen? Maybe it’s time to stop doing it backwards. #SimpleChurch

Tired of paid "professionals" doing church for you on Sunday mornings? Where do you even find that in the New Testament? I’ll take simple relational church over staged scripted church any day of the week. #SimpleChurch

Are you investing in what matters most to new visitors? Good preaching, welcoming atmosphere, and genuine connections should be top priorities for church growth. #ChurchLeadership #Investment #ChurchGrowth #SimpleChurch buff.ly/3JGEpZG

Work against complexity. #SimpleChurch

I’d rather gather together with a few in your living room and be the church, one with another … Then sit in rowed seats with a thousand in some building called the “church” to watch staged shows. #SimpleChurch
