Student ministry is on the bleeding edge of reaching the world, because it’s where the next leaders are coming from. Reaching the next generation is one of the most crucial and critical aspects of any church. And your student ministry could be one of the greatest growth catalysts for your church.

One day after that devastating earthquake in Haiti, C3 Global hit the ground, ready and able to help that nation recover. Since we began our work in Haiti, we have extended our reach to ...
Structured for Success
Is your church structured for success? Sadly, many churches aren’t. They go with the flow in order to maintain the status quo. But God never called us to the status quo. He called us to lead out in the world and to win people for Christ! And winning people for Christ isn’t about maintaining; it’s about advancing and growing! So how do you structure your church for growth, for success? In my book, The Creative Leader, I took a long look at ...

Baptizing Fantasy and Raising Reality
This weekend, I'm going to baptize the book Fifty Shades of Grey! That's right - BAPTIZE! There is a cultural epidemic out there that is wrapped up in complete fantasy, and it's destroying relational foundations. One example is this book, and now major motion picture, Fifty Shades of Grey.

The HOUSE always wins…
Have you ever thought about the fact that God wants us to risk? It's true. And we just kicked off a brand new series at Fellowship Church called "Gambling with God" where we're learning all about that fact. Here's a small part of the first installment... "God is a God of the risk. We have this risk-taking desire because of God. What are you risking for God? What are you doing that is causing you to say, "If I try this, if I do this, ...
Pastors… WATCH THIS!
Outreach Magazine recently came out with their "100 Fastest Growing Churches" issue. It's one that a lot of pastors read. Why? Because we love to look at the numbers. But before you read it, WATCH THIS VIDEO! Then read it, knowing that there's always a story behind the story!
The audacious claim of Christianity…
Right now, we're in the middle of one of the most talked about series that we've done at Fellowship Church. It's called "Myth Busters", and we're taking a look at some of the biggest questions between God and our culture today. Last weekend, I took a look at "God and Religion." Here's a portion of that message where I looked at the difference between Christianity and all other world religions... "Here’s what God did. God arranged this ...
