1.  Our nation will see the emergence of the largest generational mission field in over a century.
2.  The dominant attitude of this huge generation toward Christianity will be largely indifferent.

		<description><![CDATA[I'm always interested in how other church's run their staff meetings, so I'd thought Id' share our meeting agenda just in case someone else has the same interest.
We meet on Tuesdays from 9am to 5pm.  Mondays are a day off.  The meeting is formatted around the three main "flywheels" GBCK is pushing on: 1)discipleship, 2)Weekend [...]]]></description>

Clarity is something we're working hard on at GBCK.  Here are some things we're learning, and re-learning, about clarity:

One of the first growth barriers a church will face is space.  At some point your facility begins to feel full even when it isn't full.  Searcy uses the "70% rule": when you are filling 70% of your [...]]]></description>

Yesterday we held one very scaled-down service.  We met at 10am except we had no children's church, signs, banners, coffee, hospitality area, or connection table.  There was a small worship team, minimal media, and metal chairs.  We minimized our set-up to [...]]]></description>
