Measuring these dimensions allows you to get a snapshot of your congregation, which can help you tailor your church's messaging, programming, and next steps to better support the flourishing of your people and the thriving of your church. - We've made it easy to deploy the ChurchPulse at your church with a Kit of resources provided for you.

We're thrilled to announce that a brand new episode of our Church Law podcast has just dropped! On the heals of pastor appreciation month, this episode explores when the pastor needs leadership help (and how to find it!) In this episode, I interview David Fletcher "Fletch" founder of XPastor.com who is known as the “Dean of Executive Pastors”. With personal experience, he offers wisdom and insights gleaned from four decades leading churches of various sizes and makeups. Using Acts 6 as a guide, Fletch unpacks what it is for pastors to effectively delegate certain duties and roles, and thus free themselves to focus on their calling, as they lead growing, ever-changing churches. Whether you're considering this role for the first time or evaluating your current leadership structure, this conversation is packed with insights to help guide your decision-making. Tune in now to hear expert advice that could transform your church’s leadership! https://lnkd.in/ejJfgwwd
