Have a vision. Look it up one side and down the other. Ask yourself these questions: How will you communicate that vision? Who is the focus of your vision? Why do you want to start this church in the first place? Be specific.
For example, on this site I have laid out two church concepts: Destination God and The Messy Church. What you read here is only a portion of the whole vision. Each vision is similar, but are also different. The two could be done together, or separately. And the actual documents detailing each are over 30 pages. Not every idea is listed here.
Why go to so much effort? Easy. If you cannot clearly communicate your vision on paper, you might have trouble succinctly communicating it in person. And you must be able to express the vision God has given you well. John Maxwell says, "If you are leading but no one is following, then you are only taking a walk". And you have to communicate clearly in order to get anyone to follow.
I do not know what God has for Karen and I as it concerns the ministries described on www.DestinationGod.com. And in case you've lost count, there are 4 distinct ideas expressed here, although there are interchangeable parts to each one and all are actually part of one big vision. But if you desire God to use you, it is imperative you get a vision and develop it in as much detail as possible. Keep in mind, though, that nothing usually works out exactly as you planned. God may want to get you thinking, then shift you one way or the other to fit His plans.
As for the concepts included on this site. Well Destination God is designed with primarily a young adult audience in mind. Folks between 18 and 35. It has elements currently being used by the Emergent Church movement, but is doctrinally orthodox. Read much more about it on the Destination God pages of this site. You will notice that along the way this idea morphed into a training ministry, which is the second distinct vision. But the church concept came first.
The Messy Church is more a marketing idea. It could be the foundational concept of a church. It clearly expresses the purpose of a church and a target audience. It is non-age specific, but could be used in conjunction with the Destination God concept. I have only included on brief article on this site, but the entire idea is about 35 pages long.
The page you are reading is part of the fourth distinct idea. That of church consulting. Although it is the most recent addition to this site, it is actually the very first idea, predating even the original DestinationGod blogspot site.
As you read through the site, you will see how these can fit together or be taken separately, whichever God allows. And I am not selfish. If you see something you like, and want to run with it, let me know if I can help.
