2 Corinthians 3:18

Church Expectations

Check out the newest covenant that we're having our members sign at the end of the month. The vision of our church is: Growing Healthy Families and this doc spells out the behaviors that we expect our church members to exhibit.

Some prelim info:
1. If people don't sign it, I am in no way questioning their salvation. In other words, they're not going to hell if they don't sign it.

2. I don't expect change to happen overnight: I emphasize "growing" into each of these areas. These behaviors won't happen overnight, but if they're willing to grow into them, that's a huge step.

3. It forces my leadership staff to calendar out and create events that provide opportunities for church members to follow through on these commitments.

4. If anyone in my church reads this, signs it and says "that's it? there's not enough on there!" then I can come back to them and say, "congrats! you're a leader now and let's get you plugged in so you help other people grow."

What do you think about it?
