We wake up one morning (probably a Monday) and everything just feels \u201coff.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We need an adjustment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How do churches get out of alignment?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A few examples:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Staff: <\/strong>A well-loved staff member retires or takes a new call. The new team member comes with their own experience, style, and vision. They are well intentioned but different in how they think about and \u201cdo\u201d ministry. You are out of alignment.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Congregation:<\/strong> Your vision is to reach people far from God. Your church is now full of people that know God and have strong preferences regarding what the church \u201cshould\u201d do for them. Your activities and programs reflect the desires of those already \u201cinside\u201d and your mission to reach those \u201coutside\u201d is compromised. You are out of alignment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Community:<\/strong> When you arrived, the neighborhood was 60% empty-nesters and single people. That was 20 years ago. The community has turned over and is now full of young families and professionals, but your ministry hasn\u2019t changed. You are out of alignment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Misalignment undermines staff health, diminishes engagement, and decreases impact and investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Get aligned!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The mechanic employs wrenches, hammers, and brute strength to get a car to drive smoothly down the road. The chiropractor applies a series of quick and forceful snaps to move vertebrae to their proper position. The orthodontist uses less pressure but significantly more time to align the molars and incisors for that perfect smile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Similar to our well-trained friends, we need the appropriate tools and strategies to bring about alignment in our churches. The first step is to determine which method will be the most effective. This is not the same as which is least painful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alignment examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Staff:<\/strong> <strong>(Chiro: Quick, forceful snap!)<\/strong> Set aside weekly time (this week!) to study the Word and pray as a team. Unfortunately, many church teams do not read the Word or pray together on a regular basis! \u201cUnless the Lord builds the house, we labor in vain who try to build it!\u201d Spiritual work requires spiritual resources. Recast mission and vision, listen to what they are seeing and sensing in their areas of ministry, and make the necessary adjustments. Again, make the adjustments, don\u2019t just talk about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Congregation: (Ortho: Less pressure, more time)<\/strong> S l o w l y invite and introduce new ministry \u201cideas and experiments\u201d while decreasing attention on the things \u201cwe\u2019ve always done.\u201d New leaders will emerge, new ministries will flourish, new investment will flow. People gravitate toward what you celebrate!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Community: (Mechanic: Wrenches and hammers)<\/strong>\u00a0 Make some noise, let them know you\u2019re there! It\u2019s likely they don\u2019t! Engage local schools, food shelves, homeless shelters. Offer helpful, practical classes on parenting, finances, and marriage. Start <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">where they are<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and move them toward the Gospel. This will be messy and uncomfortable. You will get your hands dirty, but it will get you driving straight down the road to life-changing community impact!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alignment is not a \u201cone and done\u201d activity. It requires constant attention and adjustment, but the benefits are significant. Your staff will be motivated, your congregation will be fully engaged, and your community will be transformed by the power of a church on mission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As we head into 2020, let\u2019s commit to realigning our churches around God\u2019s priorities, not our preferences, to serve God\u2019s glory, not our goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For a free assessment on your church\u2019s effectiveness and alignment, take this quick (and fun) survey:<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/generis.com\/effective-ministry-assessment\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/generis.com\/effective-ministry-assessment<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Jon Wright has worked as an entrepreneur and Executive Pastor.
