Success in ministry is tough to define under normal circumstances. Throw in the massive disruption of a pandemic, an economic recession, and racial unrest, and things get even trickier. Now the most basic metrics like Sunday morning church attendance are no longer relevant for most congregations (and if you simply switched to measuring views on your livestream, you may be missing the point).
This challenging time gives us a unique opportunity to re-examine what ministry success looks like. Redefining Success is a resource to guide you in re-envisioning the calling God has placed on your life and ministry. Here more than a dozen seasoned church leaders share insights on the essential nature of ministry and help you see that success is less about accomplishments than faithfulness. Speaking of ministry success, check out “The Craftsman in the Pulpit,” in which Seth Gheen argues that effectiveness in ministry also just involves getting better at your craft.
