Changing Church Culture. Adapt to Thrive; John and Karen agree that the church of personal preference needs to become a church of God’s purpose. The Christian church is the only organization that does not exist for the benefit of it’s members. Every church has the same purpose but needs its own unique vision. How does a church name a special vision for their special circumstance and geography? How can church leaders work to change the existing culture? How do we practice our faith with urgency and passion? What is alignment and why is alignment the most important behavior in all of local church life? In their workshop on Changing Church Culture, Adapt to Thrive Karen and John offer insights and tools for moving your local church into a more healthy cultural expression. jflowers@churchfortomorrow.com or karen@churchfortomorrow.com
