I also want to invest in you as a leader. So let’s get to the leadership lessons. The event’s next speaker was the head of Orange, Reggie Joiner.
The following are 20 Leadership Quotes From Reggie Joiner On Making Family Matter More During The ReThink Leadership Digital Conference:
- What you do every week matters.
- When you change how your church sees family, families will change how they see your church.
- Part of your role as a leader is that your entire church shifts in how they see families.
- How you treat parents will ultimately one day determine how their kids grow up and see the church.
- How you treat a kid will determine how a parent sees the church.
- Kids ministry matters more than adults. Not in terms of value, but the impact over the years is greater.
- Put your best talent in Family Ministry.
- If you’re a pastor and starting a church and can only hire one person, your first hire should be someone who can help you build a strong family ministry.
- Give your Family Ministry staff a seat at the table. Not just any table, a seat at the decision-making table.
- Allocate enough budget.
- Studies have shown when you give more of your budget to kids and teenagers, the pie gets bigger. Investing in Family Ministry attracts people into your congregation.
- Pay for staff to learn.
- You want to have the smartest, sharpest, brightest people in kids ministry. Pastor, whenever you can, go with them to learn.
- Leverage your platform to spotlight family ministry. Andy Stanley modeled this better than anyone I’ve ever known in my life.
- Andy very rarely went over time when he preached. He valued everything else that was happening in the building.
- Rethink how you measure success.
- Success for you in engaging families is so much bigger than how many show up on Sundays.
- Build a friendship with a family who doesn’t go to church. If you are a lead pastor, you’re setting the culture… Nothing does that better than building a friendship with a family who doesn’t go to church.
- If you model this as a lead pastor, you will begin to raise up a generation who see the family in a different kind of way.
- Do Orange.
What an incredible session!!! Keep checking back later this afternoon for more lessons from an incredible line-up of speakers.
