We "leave it to the experts", which is why the same 'usual suspects' bob up in the leadership roles around the church. I have far more faith in human nature than that - I think we can all take on leadership roles, and it is just the fear of the unknown that prevents us. This article suggest how using a wiki can get a handle on the "corporate knowledge" that lies behind a (relatively) large church organization like ours. JohnHurst |

These are meant to be dynamic pages, changing to reflect the current state of these missional themes. The four themes are: GrowingFaith, InclusiveCommunity, CommunityHub, and CommunityOutreach.
