Church Reform When You're Not the Pastor

I saw these articles over at 9 Marks ministries blog. They have been very helpful for situations that I find myself in. Hopefully they can speak to you and your situation at your church

There's been some talk here lately, in the comments sections, about how on earth one can go about reforming a church---or even moving it in a good direction---when you're not the pastor. For the next few weeks, I want to post a series of little nuggets of what I hope will be help to people in that kind of situation. All these come from my own experience as one of several men who have worked to reform Third Avenue Baptist Church in Louisville. I don't claim universality for any of these; some of them might be helpful to you in your situation; others might be positively unhelpful. You'll have to use your own wisdom as you think through them. But I hope that the lot of them will provide some helpful perspective as you try to navigate the admittedly tough job of trying to steer a church into a more healthy direction.

Let me know what you think of these. Add others if you want, especially you other 9M bloggers who have more experience in this area than I do. I have thirteen points in mind right now. That may get longer or shorter as we go. But here we go.......
