Spiritual Transformation
Leading in the church seems to involve
much more than making decisions for
the church.
spiritual leaders =
unseen influence
Jill Saitta
Spiritual Transformation
Why some churches never grow:
1. The mission is not clear. [without leaders]
2. The focus is on trying to please everyone.
3. Passionless leadership.
4. Manufacturing energy.
5. Lack of prayer.
6. Unwilling to take risks.
7. Disobedience to the Scriptures.
8. Selfish attitudes.

Observations
Every church has early and late adopters.
Dissatisfaction is NOT a reason to withdraw a
plan.
Change is inevitable as is opposition to
change.
A church can get stuck fulfilling a vision that
never came from God.
Adaptive change will NEVER happen
without leaders.Jill Saitta

Spiritual Transformation
Steps to Adaptive Change
1. Get on the balcony (get big picture and refine)
2. Is the timing right?
3. What role do I (we) play in this?
4. Start where the church is—think hard about framing.
5. Hold steady
6. Analyze factions
7. Keep ministry at the center—get allies
