Church Organizational Structures


The organizational structures of a church are the bones.

The missional ministries of the church are the organs, muscles and flesh.

Church structure without a living, missional ministry is just a scary skeleton!

Missional ministry without any structure is just a blob.

Mark - Thanks for the simple metaphor plus graphic. I appreciate the comparison. Nice work!

A structure with broken feet (main foundation is fractured) cannot stand.

What a great way to put this. Paul's description of the church as a "Body" comes straight to mind. We all need each other - the organizers and the doers.

Thanks Mark
