The leadership of a vibrant church must be focused on the details. We understand the big picture: souls being saved, lives being changed, and people growing in Christ. However, your congregation is usually focused on the small details.
Did you put their formal name of ‘Richard’ in the church directory or their nickname of ‘Dick’? This will be very important to them.
Can we please have just one flavor of juice in the nursery instead of 3 options? It’s too hard for the children if there are options.
Did I see the flag still up on the flagpole when the light bulb was burnt out on Friday night? That’s disrespectful, Pastor!
You didn’t mention the flowers we put in front of the church in honor of our late mother, Pastor!
You get the idea. People are sensitive and the greater attention we can give to the details of their lives, the better we will build rapport with our people.
