What Church Leaders Downloaded in 2010
Carol Stream, IL January 5, 2010—BuildingChurchLeaders.com, a resource from the not-for-profit ministry of Christianity Today International, has released their most popular church leader training topics in 2010.
Church leaders were focused on getting congregants more directly involved in achieving church ministry goals in 2010. Getting all church-goers on the same page was clearly a priority, as Engaging Everyone in Worship, and Building a Culture of Discipleship were two of the most-downloaded resources at BuildingChurchLeaders.com throughout the year. Leaders also sought resources with general leadership advice, such as How to Last as a Leader, and Leading as an Introvert. Another popular resource was Streamlining Church Programming, which emphasizes the value of identifying a church's core strengths and focusing on those, rather than trying to do as many different programs as possible.
To celebrate the New Year, BuildingChurchLeaders.com is offering its top ten downloads from 2010 at 25% off the original price "The popularity of these topics demonstrates that pastors and church leaders serious about getting people more involved. They don't want church to be a spectator experience—I think it's a good sign," says Drew Dyck, editor of BuildingChurchLeaders.com.
Integrating all members into the life of the congregation is a theme BuildingChurchLeaders.com hopes to expand on in 2011, "Church leaders are seeking to erase the line between church staff and laity. At BuildingChurchLeaders.com we plan to continue to offer customizable leader training resources and practical guides that will equip lay leaders to serve effectively in the local church," says Dyck.
