Growth changes things.
Things that used to work don’t work anymore.
Job descriptions can stop making sense.
Leaders can start to burn out.
Nothing’s documented; everything’s in somebody’s head.
New staff members can have trouble getting up to speed.
New teammates = new needs for leadership.
It gets harder to do what God’s called you to do when you’re not sure how to keep everyone on the same page.
Stages of growth
START UP:
–
If anything is going to get done, you’re the one who’ll have to do it. That’s because you’re wearing all the hats & the goal is to survive.
CATCH UP:
–
The dust settles & you start to distribute your hats to new fellow leaders. The new goal becomes to stabilize and pray for growth.
GROW UP:
–
Most growing churches skip this stage by accident & return to it. Here’s where you revisit your Identity and strengthen for growth.
SCALE UP:
–
Whether you wanted growth or not, it comes with its own new challenges. Plus you feel out ahead of your skis all the time!
