Quoted by the Kentucky Baptist Convention in The Sunday School Revolutionary blog

I found it pretty cool that the Kentucky Baptist Convention is quoting our work on their blog.  Thanks Guys!  Let me know how I can help you guys in Kentucky.  Here to serve!

That is what our learning community is all about.  Please continue to share our learnings.

Search, “Kerry Mackey” on their site and the articles will pull up.

“Kingdom Vision”

David Upton has been leading me to worship more freely.

Please forgive me for not posting in the past couple of weeks.  We have been moving into our new home in Jupiter, Florida as well as landing as the new Pastor of Adult Ministries at Christ Fellowship.David Upton

I awoke this morning to a beautiful sun rise over the tall pines in my backyard while listening to my new David Upton CD, “Unshackled“.  David has been leading me to worship for the past several years and recently my worship experience has been more freeing.

Thank You David!  First for being a man of God unshackled by tradition or expectations.  Secondly, a godly husband to your wife and children.  Third, for helping me reconnect with my God.

Check David out on his website and myspace.

You will be blessed as he leads you to worship.

First Impressions and the effect on Multi-Site Campuses

I am so blessed to be in the midst of thinking though First Impressions and its relationship to a multi-site campus environment.

What does it mean to standardize First Impressions and all that that entails across multi-site?

I.e. -

Communication - oral, print, broadcast, & digital media (branding look/feel)

Connection - traffic, greeters, ushers, first aid, security, welcome centers, campus cleaning, ministry promotions

Contribution - enlistment, training, and placement of ministry partners and the need for cross training

Community - standardization of B.E.L.O.N.G.ing (Become, Embrace, Live, Offer, Nurture, & Grow)

What does it mean to have a standardized assimilation strategy that is organic enough to allow for real community yet strategic enough that follow-up and next steps are taking place.  Stability that creates flexibility.

The more I am researching the more I can see how standardization makes “intentionally”, “clarity”, “alignment”, and “focus” home runs for unity and productivity across an organization.

What are your learnings in this area?
