Growing a Church or Impacting a Community?

Dan reiland always has something wise and provocative to say. In this issue of the Pastor's Coach he lists several antitheses we need to pay attention to:

• <>You grow a church with talent and leadership. You impact a community with compassion.
• <>You grow a church on your terms. You reach a community on their terms.
• <>You grow a church by offering good programs. You reach a community by offering good relationships.
• <>You grow a church by investing in yourself. You invest outside yourselves to reach a community.
<>

Another way to put this is that we're in the people business. Read the whole piece for yourself.
