THIS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH | 6:00-7:45PM | WHC GYM

Church Family,

This coming Monday night will be our first LEAD Night. Food starts at 6:00. Sign up for childcare if you need it. I’ve been looking forward to this since this past spring. I really believe that these LEAD Nights (3rd Monday of the Month) have the potential to make Western Hills healthier and more effective in living out the reality of Jesus for our city.

Why do I believe that?

It’s starts with this foundation: Western Hills has GREAT leaders. I’m spoiled rotten. If there is a need, you respond. When an ask is made, you exceed expectations. When I go to a city meeting or event, I constantly hear our community brag on people who go to Western Hills and their impact.

But we can be better…

The harsh reality of churches is that the focus is on running programs and recruiting volunteers to work them. There’s something flawed with that approach over the long haul. It’s task oriented, not relational. It’s more about keeping a program alive, as opposed to effectively engaging our culture. It lends itself to treating leaders like resources, instead of people. I’ve been guilty of those things. If we’re serious about living out the reality of Jesus to every person, in every place, all the time – that mindset MUST change.

We must STOP recruiting people to a program and START developing people for a purpose.

That’s the heartbeat behind LEAD Night – to start developing people for their purpose – to live out the reality of Jesus. Why should you be there?

LEAD Night will grow your relationship with Jesus.

It will make you a better leader not just for the ministry you serve in but all of the places God has put you in.

You will learn spiritual principles that can be immediately applied in your life.

It will put you around the table with other leaders to encourage and inspire you. If you’re curious about serving, then it will give you the backstage pass of our ministries.

Everybody wins when a leader gets better. So this is your official invitation to join us Monday night.

See ya’ soon,

Grant
