CFTROU 0001: Why We Abandoned the Regional Megachurch Model
On this first episode of Church for the Rest of Us, Family Church Lead Pastor, Jimmy Scroggins, and Executive Pastor, Steve Wright, discuss the purpose of this podcast and their hope that it will help pastors and ministry leaders. If you’re tired of going to conferences, reading books, and listening to talks that suggest strategies which require hundreds of staff and thousands of dollars, then this podcast is for you. When Jimmy came to West Palm Beach, our church had dilapidated buildings, almost no staff, and no money to move forward. We’re going to tell the lessons we’ve learned and strategies we’ve used to abandon the regional megachurch model and embrace a new strategy for taking the gospel to every person in every neighborhood in South Florida.
Key Points:
- Learn why we think this podcast is necessary and its primary purpose.
- How we aim to help pastors and churches grow when they don’t have the people, talent, or money.
- Why we abandoned the regional megachurch model and adopted a network of neighborhood churches.
- Understand why we’re passionate to see what happened in the book of Acts come to life in our church and city.
- Why we believe that any church that is serious about making disciples can successfully employ the strategies from this podcast.
If a church that hasn’t had a pastor in 5 years calls, you aren’t at the top of their list.
