Lots of pastors ask me where to begin when it comes to training their teams or changing their church’s culture.

Here is the one thing you can do to set the course you want to take in your ministry with those you serve with…

Be clear.

It sounds simple and yet it’s more challenging than we realize.

Being clear is about knowing who you are AND who you are not.

This means saying ‘no’ to a lot of things so you can say ‘yes’ to the right things.

So give you team clarity about…

• What is expected of them in their positions
• What we stand for as a church
• What our philosophy of ministry is
• The kind of attitude required to do ministry well on this team

Too many pastors believe these things are simply “caught” rather than “taught”.

I disagree.

If you want your staff or team to perform well, give them a clear blueprint of what’s expected of them.

Not being clear with your staff about these essential areas is one of the BIG mistakes I see many senior pastors make over and over again.

Unfortunately, it’s not the only one.

In fact I’ve created a simple ebook compiling the “Top 5 Leadership Mistakes Senior Pastors Make” and today you can get it for free.

Just put in your info below.
