Growth

In 2015, Lake Country Unitarian Universalist Church was named a Breakthrough Congregation by the UUA.

Study Guide
Since my arrival at my current congregation, the congregation has gained over 60 new members, and our fastest growing demographic is young families.

We currently have approximately 155 adult members, and 93 children.

When you build programs based on a unified and mission-driven vision, growth happens.

My goal is to create the necessary structures to support growth, and then to allow it to happen organically. 

Growth depends on:
  • community connection
  • activism
  • welcome
  • excellence in preaching
  • outreach
  • publicity
  • programming
  • meaningful worship
  • relevance
  • and welcome (it's so important I said it twice!)

​I don't believe you can force people to want to come to church. I do believe you can make it so inviting that they cannot stay away.
