What Is Measured Is Rewarded

What you measure as a leader represents what you value! So, what is your value statement currently? Are you measuring input or output? Are you measuring “facility-based” activity or discipling people to go into all the world? Is the success of the Gospel measured by the number of attendees and viewers or is it in the quality of discipled foot-soldiers?

It is my humble opinion that leaders that measure only attendees to online, live, small group gatherings will grow frustrated as time moves forward. 

Find ways to engage new metric measurements. Track engagement. Discover how to measure real growth in faith. Figure out how to measure what is really going on in people’s lives (This could help).

Data is not the mountain to conquer or altar on which to worship. Rather, data is to assist in making informed decisions and pivots.

Will growing churches of the future become digital operations with physical addresses? If that becomes true, leaders that are unwilling to transition will experience increasing difficulty in church leadership tomorrow.
