We have been once again surrounded by young leaders – some very sharp young leaders. In pastoring an established church, I falsely assumed, mostly because of what I’d been told, that younger leaders would not want to join our efforts. They only wanted hip and cool church plants. Along the way we’ve discovered a few things.

It was a sharp group of people. Churches represented were growing, plateauing and declining. Most of these pastors were new in their positions and I expected to see all these churches would be growing soon. There were some incredible consistencies – actually more than I anticipated.
