The Internal/Eternal Benefits of an External Focus
Can churches experience internal benefits from their external focus? The answer is YES! My home church is an example of how a Church’s decision to be more outwardly focused can also lead to internal church-growth. During the last months we have been working through what it means to be a church “with” our community. We are engaged in a journey of intentionality. We are intentional about reaching and listening to our community, and intentional about having the hard conversations about what that will mean to our tight-knit and small congregation. |

| The conversations haven’t been easy, and through them we have realized a truth that most churches miss. We need to be emotionally as well as spiritually healthy in order to be an agent of transformation. So as we embark on a journey to be agents of change we are being changed, internally and eternally!! | |
