The vast majority of pastors believe church success lies in:
• Attendance
• Giving (money)
• Number of programs
• Number of staff
• Square footage (of facilities)
At Servias Ministries, we believe our success is based on spreading the Gospel of Love and Truth:
– We have no facilities
– We pay no salaries
– We have one live program per week (most weeks), recorded for later viewing. Available on a global basis.
– Attendance is optional, but appreciated
– Giving is optional, but appreciated
– We give to those in need, cheerfully.
I guess our definition of success is based on hearing and responding to Our Heavenly Father’s Voice. HE set up our infrastructure and determines our focus.
In 2010, a complimentary copy of the first book we published “Circumcised Heart of Love” was sent to the senior pastors of the top 100 churches in the U.S. We never heard back from 99 of the 100 churches. The one church that responded returned their complimentary copy.
