Good Ideas For Churches

This is the story of how a church in GA did some self-examination during Covid shutdown, and came back with a radically different minsitry. In the process, they made some important discoveries about who they wanted to be, and found a lot of benefits they didn't see coming.

Special thanks to Madison Tompkins, the 1-Service Church evangelist, and Lead Pastor Justin McTeer of His Hands Church in Woodstack, GA for sharing their story with me!

Crowdsource requests:

1. If your church has started a second-language service, I'd love to hear from you.
2. Hit me with your best Easter outreach ideas so we can all steal them.

I'd love it if you’d consider subscribing to the Good Ideas for Churches YouTube Channel. This episode will have bonus content, hearing directly from Madison, the Youth Pastor at His Hands about how this benefited the youth ministry specifically.

Good Ideas for Churches is a joint project between Matt Whitman's The Ten Minute Bible Hour and Eyes Up. Have a good idea? Something that's helped your church? Something that's made the Gospel make sense to people in your community? I'd love to hear from you! Shoot me an email at [e-mail].
