Pulling faith-based books from my library shelf seeking guidance on when a church community is out of transition and into growth, I came up empty-handed. The reason for that, most likely, is because there is no firm answer, no Venn diagram, and no line in the sand saying you have crossed the finish line. There is a difference between reaching the end, where there would be nowhere else to go, and realizing that growth creates new transitions. Taking care of business has led us to take care of building upgrades, worship schedules, formation formats, leadership structures, lay ministry, and shared community opportunities. It is now time to design the next step.
