Another church’s formula for success may not work for your church. Do not replicate what other churches do, but study what principles and techniques make them successful. Learn like a painter.
Great painters study other artists, but they blend what they learn with their own artistic expression. Although other artists influence them, their passion and self-awareness are the driving forces of their artform.
In the same way, you should study other ministries, but you need to be able to discern which techniques will work with your church’s unique calling and circumstances. You can learn from and be inspired by others without becoming a clone of them.
