Getting In The Game...

Pasor Ken began a new series on September 14- Getting In The Game. It's all about people moving from being consumers to being communers. The first step in getting involved is to understand the game and the playing field.

At Argyle, some people (usually those with at least some background of church experience) come in and find that we do things a lot differently than they are used to. Everything we do is for a purpose, and everything you see (or don't see) is intentional.

Our leadership uses an approach discussed in a book we think every member of the Argyle family should read- 7 Practices of Effective Ministry, by Andy Stanley, Reggie Joiner and Lane Jones.

The first practice is to clarify the win. It is how we identify the important things we are trying to achieve, communicate what we want our people to do, and know when and what to celebrate.

We have talked about this before. Check here and here. We aren't really interested in numbers at Argyle- we are interested in changed lives.

The next couple days we will be discussing what we consider some wins here at Argyle. If you have questions, leave a comment, or check out our web site, or contact us.
