The Willow Creek people have identified 5 traits of extremely effective churches.
1.Their leaders have extraordinary devotion to God. They love God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength.
2.They get people moving. They clearly communicate a roadmap for the next steps in ministry.
3.They embed the Bible in everything they do. God`s word is the central axis for every discussion and activity.
4.They create ownership, making sure everyone, staff and attendees, own the vision.
5.They pastor the local community, addressing the needs outside their own walls, bringing Christ to their community.
The characteristics not only work for effective churches, but effective ministries and organizations. I’ve even seen it work in businesses and corporations.
God’s way is always the best way.
