Is it possible that God has a special calling for our church? The first step in ascertaining a unique vision is to discover our Kingdom Concept. The Kingdom Concept is the simple, clear, “big idea” that defines how your church will glorify God and make disciples. Your Kingdom Concept is not to “glorify God” or to “make disciples” in and of itself. These ideas reflect the biblical mandate for every church. Rather, our Kingdom Concept is what differentiates us from every other church in HOW we develop followers of Jesus for God’s ultimate honor. Our Kingdom Concept answers important questions like: “What is our greatest opportunity to have an impact on the Kingdom?” and “What can we do better than 10,000 other churches?” It’s our organizational sweet spot. With a clear understanding of a Kingdom Concept, our leadership can capture and release amazing energy toward a better future. Once we discover our unique Kingdom Concept, as a church, we will be free to live as God has uniquely created and called us to do in our unique setting. The best way to find our Kingdom Concept is to look at the intersection of the three circles that represent aspects of our church’s God given uniqueness.
