The Church As an Ecosystem: A Model to Help Churches See How They Fit into Something Larger than Themselves and Why This Matters for Legacy - Charlie Kuchenbrod. Episode 99

Every local church congregation, like the people who comprise it, has a natural life cycle. Some last longer than others, but they all pass through the same stages – formation, adolescence, adulthood and completion. And just like many individual humans, congregations often struggle to come to terms with the end of their natural life. Consequently, people are unfairly burdened, precious resources are wasted, and opportunities for celebration and recognition of faithful ministry are missed. In this episode, Legacy Church Specialist, Charlie Kuchenbrod, shares how when congregations imagine the wider church as a forest and their individual congregation as a tree within that forest, they are better able to embrace the guidance of the Holy Spirit, appreciate a life well lived, and plan for their legacy in ways that bless what is past and what is to come.
