Perhaps you’ve had the unfortunate experience of attending a church service that was a major flop. Let me describe for you what I would define as a ‘flop’. People are unprepared, there are a myriad of distractions, and there doesn’t seem to be any sense of the Presence of God throughout the meeting. That’s not to say that the Lord isn’t/wasn’t speaking. We all are quite aware that He can and will speak whenever and however He wants. That said, we are also aware that God has entrusted to His people to be facilitators and instruments of His words (more on that later).
This month I will begin unpacking key ideas and principles regarding the Sunday morning services. As Executive Pastor at Elim Gospel Church it has been one of my primary roles to ensure the Sunday experience shines with excellence and that everyone works in tandem to accomplish the mission God sets for us each week. I look forward to unpacking what I’ve learned in upcoming weeks, so stay tuned!
Additionally, I invite you to consider purchasing the “Hosting Exceptional Sunday Services” workshop by going to the Transforming Leader store. This workshop summarizes the 6 key elements of a Sunday Service and, more importantly, how to pull them all together to form an Exceptional Sunday Service. The workshop includes several additional resources and is available for purchase on CD or as a download. Click here to purchase the workshop today.

I have gone through Hosting Exceptional Sunday Services at least four times, and Strategic Planning for Local Churches twice!
Truly great work. The elders in my church are going to get together to go over all of this as soon as we can all get together. We thank you so much for what you have accomplished for the Kingdom, and highly recommend that anyone seeking for God to work in a greater way in their weekend services would drink from this cup.
Thanks Dustin. I appreciate the encouragement and am very thankful that both resources have been a help to you! If/when you think of it, let me know what changes you end up making and how they work out.
