Question Zero: What Are We Trying to Accomplish? (Church Unique Intentional Leader Series)

Every Church Is A Unique ExpressionBecause people are different, every church should have a unique way they live out the mission.Different churches are trying to reach different types of people.Different churches are made up of different people, and those people have different personalities, gifts, and resources.Different churches are led by different people, and those leaders have different passions and strengths.It’s a liberating idea: God has made your church unique. You get to be a unique expression of the mission. You don’t have to do it the way any other church does it. Your church shouldn’t be a carbon copy.It’s a liberating idea.A blessing.But I used to view it as a curse.I hope and pray that my story, and the story of Verve, inspires you and liberates you to discover your church’s unique Question Zero.

Vince Antonucci became a Christian out of a completely non-Christian background and ever since his passion has been reaching the "lostest of the lost." He was the founding Pastor of Forefront Church in Virginia Beach, Virginia, a church where 72% of the people who attend were previously unchurched non-Christians. In 2009 Vince moved to Las Vegas where he started a new church, Verve, in the heart of Sin City, just off the Vegas Strip. Verve reaches pimps and prostitutes, atheists and agnostics, addicts and gang members. Vince is the author of I Became a Christian and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt (2008), Guerrilla Lovers (2010), and Renegade (2013).
