What Churches Need to Know RIGHT NOW
THE OBVIOUS
- Things have changed rapidly
- Things will continue to change for the foreseeable future
- Everything AT CHURCH is shut down
- Everything with respect to faith must presently take place AT HOME
- God has not changed. His Word has not changed. Our mandate to "go and make disciples" has not changed.
- Practicing faith @ HOME is relatively new ground for many people and churches. Both need help, innovation, and most importantly, Spirit-enabling.
- This is a time of unprecedented opportunity for churches to take discipleship to a whole new level. COVID-19 may cause us to ask "why didn't we do some of this stuff sooner as a church?"
- As church leaders, we need to understand and shepherd our people in their discipleship practices @HOME. This means we should get to know more about their ATTITUDES, BEHAVIORS, and DESIRES to foster a closer walk with God.
- Church leaders need to practice, and call their people to practice, Faith @ Home themselves, with their kids, teenagers, and especially their spouse.

"As a pastor for over 3 decades I have attended many seminars and conferences, and after a while the information seems repetitive and not always useful. These seminars are different in that the emphasis focuses on the core value of building up the family in faith, and the material was practical yet flexible. This was time well spent."

The FaithLIFE survey is a global survey designed primarily to provide assistance to local churches and denominations in doing effective ministry. The FaithLIFE Survey measures attitudes, behaviors, and desires of faith practices outside of church.
