In their book Simple Church, Thom S. Rainer and Eric Geiger define a simple church as “a congregation designed around a straightforward and strategic process that moves people through the stages of spiritual growth.” They go on to suggest that the simple church has four major components:
- Clarity — Our mission statement provides this clarity, describing what we are about as a congregation. Remember the four key words of our mission statement and find your place in that mission: winning, building, connecting, sending.
- Movement — By living out Christ’s mission, we should be moving to become the people God wants to make us into.
- Alignment — We should align everything we do in life and in the church with Christ’s purpose, and be united around that purpose.
- Focus — We are called to abandon everything that falls outside of Christ’s purpose.
Let’s continue working to carry out the mission that God has given us.
