Your Church Is Placed Where It Is on Purpose
It is easy for a church to see its location as incidental.
The building is where it has always been. The neighborhood has changed. The community may no longer look like it once did. Over time, the church can begin to feel out of place—almost like it is simply holding on in a setting that has moved past it.
But that perspective misses something important.
Your church is not where it is by accident.

“Introverts don't like small talk conversation, but they typically don't mind writing. The more people can "see" you on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or a blog, the more they will feel like they know you, even though you don't have one-on-one interaction with them.”

“Confident and courageous leaders have no problems pointing out their own weaknesses and ignorance.”

“If outside forces and culture were the reasons behind declining and non-influential churches, we would likely have no churches today. The greatest periods of growth, particularly the first-century growth, took place in adversarial cultures. We are not hindered by external forces; we are hindered by our own lack of commitment and selflessness.”
