Article by Teresa Chang In 2008 our church had a prophetic renewal, where prophetic words were being poured out on many members of our church.

Article by Teresa Chang The local church is meant to be a leadership incubator (Matthew 28:18-20). The power of apostolic ministry in your church depends
Article by Teresa Chang We as church leaders need to recognize that culture is like the banks of a river. If there are no riverbanks, the river becomes a marsh, but where the banks are strong and stable, they channel the river’s flow, taking it where it needs to go. Culture channels the flow of […]
Article by Teresa Chang The recorded words of Jesus will change our lives, yet it is important to remember He did more than speak! When we talk about His words, we also need to talk about His works. The words and works of Jesus form the gospel—they are the good news. As a church leader, […]
Article by Teresa Chang As church leaders, we must acknowledge that we live in an individualized society that has embraced this motto: “I can do it by myself.” We glorify the self-made man or woman and place a lot of importance on a person’s inner strength. But we weren’t made to be alone. We weren’t […]
Article By Teresa Chang Just as God is excellent in everything He does, we should have a value for excellence in everything we do on a practical level. We as church leaders can help our members become excellent stewards in every aspect. Living a lifestyle of excellence on a practical level encompasses a person’s resources, […]
Article by Teresa Chang Our church was birthed out of a Korean church’s college group ministry, and as such, all of our church leaders had a heart to reach the university campus nearby. We intentionally rented our church space right next to the university so that we could open our doors to college students. We […]
Article by Teresa Chang Ministries are like vehicles. They work well for a time and then you trade them in for a newer model. You don’t expect a car to last forever, and it costs a lot of money if you try to make it last forever! As church leaders, always be open to new […]
Article by Teresa Chang One of our annual Passion Week traditions is that our church leaders will wash the feet of every church member. It is a powerful time and demonstrates Jesus’ love for us as He washed the disciples’ feet. It is also a reminder to us church leaders of the heart posture we […]
Article by Teresa Chang One of the greatest blessings of being a part of my home church is that I’m surrounded by church leaders who love the Word of God. Many of us were raised up in our senior pastor’s marathon bible studies, which were 3-4 hours of inductive Bible study! His motto was “context […]
Article by Teresa Chang At the moment of his salvation, the apostle Paul received what he called a “heavenly vision” (Acts 26:19). One encounter with God, and the course of his life changed forever. His ministry shifted the world—and it all began when Jesus encountered him on the road to Damascus. Years later, Paul described […]
Article by Teresa Chang Reaching the next generation is a core value in my church. It is so deeply entrenched in all of our church leaders and members that most of our church programs have something to do with the college, youth or children’s ministry. We have mission trips for the youth, hold the most […]
Article by Teresa Chang As church leaders we must realize it isn’t necessary for prophetic cultures to constantly “shoot from the hip,” so to speak.

Metro area, and he always reiterates that for any organization to be successful, there have to be a combination of visionaries and those that make those visions into a reality.

Many of us church leaders in prophetic environments shy away from that word, but the right kinds of structures can propel your church into its destiny. Church small groups, ministry groups, children’s ministry and so forth can cause an explosion of growth in your church […]

Article by Teresa Chang My church is about to transition into a new season and dynamic as our first church leaders are now growing older and a new generation of leaders is stepping up. Many of our youth students and college students are now becoming leaders in our church, and it is exciting to see […]
Article by Teresa Chang Many church leaders we coach are concerned because they see transfer growth, but not conversion growth. Ultimately, this comes down to a matter of vision.
