Dan Browning (Christ the King Church) wrote a book called Deliberate Simplicity. It’s essence: the church can do more by doing less. Browing isn’t the first to recognize this (or even state it in a book)…ministry leaders have been saying this for a several years.  Less is more. Create a stop doing list. The secret to concentration is elimination. Narrow the focus. It’s not about the hours you put in, it’s about what you put in those hours. Work smarter instead of harder. Use the discipline of intelligent loss. Andy Stanley writes about this in 7 Practices, Craig Groeschel touches it in It, Simple Church by Thom Rainer discusses it in depth, etc.

Browing made the first 50 people in his church sign a document that asked them to agree that they would do three things and three things only. Interestingly, they sound a bit like the path KW is taking. Browing: A worshipping church, 2) a church centered on small groups and 3) a church that was committed to outreach.

KingsWay? 1)Worship. 2)Grow. 3)Send.

I asked the people of Kingsway months ago…if we could only do a few things as a church, what would they be? What are the most foundational things that God is calling us to do? The answer: Worship. Grow. Send.

If we can do those things well, we’ll have the potential for significant Kingdom impact.
