One of the most important church leadership principles that I've come to understand is that I am not called to build crowds, but to reach them. This happens when we build people...and building people is the most fulfilling part of a church leader's job.
What people need most from us as leaders is equipping and encouragement. Early in my ministry, I was too focused on all I had to do and not focused enough on seeing clearly what God wanted to do for and through our church. I've learned that He really expects two important things of us as leaders. He desires for us to equip people through biblical teaching and empower them for ministry so they become excited about what can happen for the Lord.
God calls us not just to reach crowds, but also to build people.
