Jesus commissioned us to go and make disciples of all nations. Does your church’s organizational structure help or hinder your fulfillment of the Great Commission? Do your organizational skills<\/a> lead to discipleship or mere administration? To answer that question, let’s break down Matthew 28:18-20.<\/p>\n

\"Organizational<\/p>\n

Factors that Determine if Organizational Structures Help or Hinder the Fulfillment of the Great Commission<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Centrality of Jesus’ Authority in All We Do<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Fluidity in Organizational Structure<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Allegiance to a Person, Not an Entity<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Non-Compartmentalized Integrity<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Unobscured Focus on the Lord<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            These factors don’t make organizing taboo for the Church but rather keep it in check. Organization must help, not hinder, us from fulfilling His design, purpose and mission for the Church.<\/p>\n

            The Steering the Church Toward Discipleship Leadership Guide<\/strong><\/a> includes these points with some brief input about each and also guides you in assessing how you approach organization in your church.<\/p>\n
