The Truth About Church Systems (NEW Free Report)
One question I get constantly is ‘Nelson, what do you mean by Church Systems?‘
Great question. And one that definitely needs addressed.
Because if you really get ‘church systems’ it will dramatically improve how you lead your
church and increase your understanding of how God grows our churches
(often much faster than we think possible)But if you go about it the wrong way…yeesh.
So for the last few weeks our team (me, Roy, Jennifer and some of my top coaching alumni) have been quietly putting our heads together and cranked out this Special Report titled
“Healthy Church, Healthy Systems”
Get your copy here:
Get Healthy Church, Healthy Systems
You wanted a roadmap? You got a roadmap – and then some.
This is a step by step blueprint describing the ‘church systems’ process that I have taught to hundreds of coaching alumni (many of whom have seen huge spirit produced growth almost as soon as they went to work on their systems), written about in all my books and shared in this top rated podcast.
This report is a guide book to true organic church growth.
(dare I use the words ‘organic” and ‘church growth’ in the same sentence – read the report!).
Get Healthy Church, Healthy Systems
Gotta run… I can’t wait to hear our thoughts on the report. Also, if you find it helpful, please share it on your blog or direct your readers here to get their copy.
Your partner in ministry,
Nelson
P.S. Roy has put together a great deal called The Church Systems Package that ties in well with this report. It’s a great way to jumpstart the growth of your church and to start implementing right away the lesson of the report. Click Here.

When to Challenge the System
Jay Curlee in Corpus Crisiti, who works with my friend Bil Cornelius, got me thinking about systems today (its not that hard to do - ha! I talk, speak and write a lot about church systems as most of you know). Here’s what he asked:
“Progress demands change. It demands a leader who seeks to push through the chaos of change as they drive to the next level. What process should you be challenging right now?”
There are at least three times when you need to courageously challenge the systems of your church, they are:
* After a ’season of growth’
* During a ’season of stagnation’
During each of these times we to challenge the systems in our church or else atrophy will set in.
It’s easy to challenge the system during ’stagnation’ and ‘testing’ but the hardest time to challenge the system is following a ’season of growth.’
But ‘a season of growth’ is the most important time to challenge, re-evaluate and revision because if you don’t you’ll enter a season of stagnation by default.Challenging the systems doesn’t mean that you change the Eight Systems of A Church but it does mean you innovate from within, re-evaluate the staffing of each system and imporve the systems so they can take you to the next level.
For a great resource on ‘challenging the systems’ from a non-church but yet critical leadership perspective, see The Leadership Challenge by Kouzes and Posner

P.S. I just finished a new special report with my latest thinking on Church Systems, its tentatively titled “Healthy Church, Healthy Systems.” I’ll be giving it away right here on the blog in a couple of weeks (I know, sorry for the tease, but I’m very excited about it!).
