Today at the Springs we broke a barrier that helped to see ministry in a totally different light. Today our church opperated at a different level because the more people you minister to more must be done. Here are several things we have to keep in mind.
* Parking needs will always need to be adressed and thought through. You need to have a parking plan. You can't grow with out a good parking plan and
room to park.
* You need volunteers to help greet people joyfully and give directions.
* You need people willing to help bring and serve snacks and drinks to the guests.
* You need to make your church facilty as nice as you can with what you have.
* You need to put your best foot forward in providing children's ministry
* You need good music
* Your message must speak to the needs
* You must be mindful of the time. If you say 1 hour than 1 hour. state your time of starting and ending.
* Let people know how much you appreciate them being there.
* above all put your whole ministry in the hands of God and trust Him to the work only He can do.
You can learn alot by setting goals to break barriers but it is worth it. When we break one barrier our faith grows and we know we can through the help of the Lord we can do all things through Christ.
