New Church Conference - Bil Cornelius April 27, 2007
Posted by Steve in : Church, Methods & Strategies , add a commentI got a chance to listen to Bill Cornelius’ session and I got one great nugget from him: focus. Although they are into the thousands at Bay Area Fellowship, he said they are focused only on what they do well, and only provide Sunday services, childrens’ ministry and small groups. Focus on what you do best — don’t be all things to all people…….Good counsel from Bil.
