Starting point for Church

Starting point

So where do we start? back at the basics? or at prayer? or at the existing plan, or Vision or Pastors wishes or Secretary/ or a deacon/s pet theories or all of them?
May be you know what you want but how to get there?
Its not about targets?
Its not about submissiveness?
Its not about bulldozing?
Its about agreement its about consensus.
When a Youth goes in to a job for the first time you don't empower them you instruct them.
As they develop you review and instruct and ask how they see it and how they might develop the role and the job? As time progresses one can take the hand off the tiller and seek consensus with them. ( but the responsibility is still yours).
But, leadership should seek consensus in their meetings and in Member Meetings.
