There are thousands of churches across America that have beautiful facilities — and that’s awesome! We love talking with church leaders who are looking at expanding campuses and building new buildings and making room for more new faces. Growth is fun and exciting, and we’re grateful we get to be a part of it for so many churches.

As church leaders, we are (or should be) continually focused on discipling the people God entrusts to our ministry. However, we often forget that the discipleship process should begin with us and how we lead our staff. We must disciple them well and teach them how to do the same before we earn the right to make disciples of others.
