Church Brand Architects

When I saw the Title of this book I knew it was something I had to read. I am constantly coming across people who are asking this important question – How Do I Make My Church Grow. Well, I can now show you 10 things you are doing to stunt the growth of your church and organization. This list was compiled in a book written entitled Ten Stupid Things That Keep Churches from Growing: How Leaders Can Overcome Costly Mistakes by George Surratt. Geoff Surratt, pastor of ministries at Seacoast Church in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina,.  Here is the question does this sound like you and your church?

Here are the 10 stupid things, according to Surratt, that keep churches from growing:

1. Leaders do it all
2. Establishing wrong role for the pastor’s family
3. Second rate worship experiences
4. Low quality children’s ministry
5. Promoting talent over integrity
6. Clinging to bad location
7. Copying another successful church
8. Favor discipline over reconciliation
9. Mixing ministry and business
10. Letting committees steer the ship
