In a recent conversation with someone about starting a new church, I articulated two principles that are shaping what we’re doing at Fulcrum. If you’re looking for theological depth or piercing missionary insight, you’ll probably be disappointed.
1. I want to start a church that I’m excited to be a part of. (Larry Osborne gave me this basic principle at a conference earlier this year.)
2. I want to start a church that I’m comfortable inviting my friends to be a part of as well.
These aren’t the only principles shaping our activity of course, but they are an important part of the conversation.
What do you think about these?
These two key components of Fulcrum beg the questions, “What kind of church would you be excited to be a part of?” and, “What kind of church would you want to invite people to?”
