Park Grove Community Church has lost its pastor and is closing its doors, unless it reinvents itself, despite itself...with the help of Chuck.
Episodio 60 hr 13 min
Understanding the Who
Chuck’s amusing trip to “Whoville” is what it takes for The Committee to better understand “who” lives in the surrounding community, and that the Who should drive every decision The Committee makes.
Hospitality
Taking on the role of a French waiter, Chuck cleverly sets a table for six to demonstrate for The Committee the true meaning of hospitality. It's not something you put on, it's a lifestyle.
Reflecting the Community
Chuck shuffles through Rummage Sale skeletons and broken lamps to illustrate The Committee has been asleep at the wheel. “Our community has changed, but we’ve stayed the same.”
Our Purpose
To better understand the church’s purpose, Chuck reminds the overly confident “good ideas” committee it just isn’t good enough. More important is the critical question “Why are we here?”
Evangelism
Evangelism, the “E-Word,” rears its ugly head. But The Committee takes a refreshingly different look at evangelism, discovering that the poor Mr. E-word may just be simply misunderstood.
Understanding the Who
Chuck’s amusing trip to “Whoville” is what it takes for The Committee to better understand “who” lives in the surrounding community, and that the Who should drive every decision The Committee makes.
Discipleship System
Playing a whistle-blowing referee, Chuck once again amusingly derails the small group with an investigation of discipleship
Innovation
When the lights go out, it illuminates the need for innovation, as the inimitable Chuck helps The Committee to “see the light,” that more innovation is essential for the church.
Small Groups
A simple question—what is a small group? But simplicity once again has The Committee upside down, as Chuck facilitates understanding one of the most important things we do at church, small groups.
Children & Families in Church
Daniel’s visiting daughter illuminates the church’s ineffective engagement of children and their families, prompting The Committee’s exploration of how important they are to the life of the church.
Stewardship
The Compass Committee grapples with the full meaning of stewardship in hopes of convincing the financially-prudent Mr. Riley to let go of the old idea that stewardship is merely an annual campaign.
Committees That Work
Endless “church committee” jokes have Chuck realizing the truth in many of the unflattering remarks. Chuck insists they answer the toughest question of all. Are they really making a difference?
Embracing a Legacy
The aging Compass Committee must confront the elephant in the room. Congregations are growing older. For the church to survive, younger and older adults must work together. Easier said than done.
Young Leaders
As the nerve-racking Jenga Game takes center stage, Chuck mediates The Committee debate over how older leaders must make mental and physical space for younger leaders.
The Vote
Time’s up! The long and arduous process—with all its emotional ups-and-downs—comes to an end. Will the Compass Committee decide to close the church’s doors or keep them open?
Resurrection
Resurrection! The new Park Grove Community Church opens its doors. Is it the end for the Compass Committee, or are they just getting started? It’s a new dawn, a new day, a new beginning.
