Momentum Principles
By Stovall Weems
So with the foundation of God’s favor and blessing on the church, how do we continue to facilitate the big mo in the church? Well, one thing is something I touched on in my last post – saying “yes” to things that fit the church’s vision and mission and saying “no” to things that do not.
What will begin to drain the momentum of a church is doing too many things and going in too many directions.
Here at Celebration Church we are constantly guarding against mission drift. It still happens in areas from time to time. The tendency is always there because there are so many needs and “good things” we have the opportunity to do. God has really taught us a big lesson in this over the past year.
Vision alignment is key – the staff, our leaders, and the ministry team members all being on the same page and rowing in the same direction is crucial for us getting where God wants us to be. Making sure that all of the extra events and outreaches that we give energy to are actually helping the church move forward as a whole and that our impact is effective and maximized for God’s kingdom.
I will continue to talk about momentum a little more in my Tuesday blog post.

Probably one of the hardest things to keep in check. Not letting the “good” overtake the “great.” Can’t wait to see your next post.
