Thinking Differently

We had a discovery at our staff meeting on Monday. We were going through different issues that we are having right now, and we kept coming to the same conclusion: we have to start thinking differently as a church. We are not the same church that we were 6 months ago. Sudden growth is very nice, but it also causes wrecks if you do not start thinking more strategically. The questions we are having right now are:

• How do we get these people plugged into small groups quickly?
  
• Are we ready for people to jump into serving?
  
• How do we stop running out of everything every single Sunday?
  
• How are we going to handle Newcomers this Sunday?
• What are we going to do when we can't put more chairs out?

We kinda thought we knew what we were doing a few months ago. I don't think that's where God wants us to be. We are definitely out of our comfort zone right now!
