Leading your church to live and love like Jesus is one part art, and one part science.

As you preach the Bible, provide small groups, and teach your people to follow Jesus, you also need to build relationships with your church members.

At its core, building relationships with your church is based on your communication. You need to stay in touch with your church to build a relationship of trust and mutual respect.

But this is easier said than done.

You're busy ...

... preparing your sermons ...

... counseling people ...

... performing miscellaneous administrative tasks ...

... coordinate your volunteers
