The trend here to watch… FREE. This is just the most recent addition of larger churches offering to share their resources to other churches FOR FREE. (LifeChurch and Seacoast are already offering much of their media assets online for free). I think this is a great trend. And it will change the face of church resources over the next few years as more and more churches and ministries offer their resources for free. It will also put a little pressure on some of the other big ‘pay for stuff’ ministries either be 1) more creative or 2) lower their prices or offer more of their resources for free.
Any thoughts?

Andy Stanley's North Point Church now has a website that offers many of their church government, human resources, accounting, facilities, web and tech, and other resources online for free! According to the site, "Over the past ten years, we have brainstormed, strategized, tweaked, and modified our model. We have compiled much of our philosophy, strategy, practices, and processes on this site in an effort to help other churches learn from our experiences. We've included things like: why we do some of the things we do, what has worked well, and what hasn't worked well. We'll be the first to admit that we're not there yet! We hope you will find this site helpful as you create environments for people to connect meaningfully with God..."

Hey, Todd. Have you ever compiled a list of the free resources out there that are good? I was chatting with Greg Kappas (not sure if you know him) last weekend about this. A lot of stuff is either expensive or the quality sucks. He and Driscoll talked about that years ago and now Dricoll has his whole resurgence site out, which is a great free site for papers.
I have been collecting these sites for awhile, trying to figure out what to do with them. I want to create a clearinghouse of sorts that sorts through the sites and compiles the best free stuff. I have hit a few roadblocks, but I can share those with you privately.
Maybe we can put our heads together for something here.

Noel,
That’s a GREAT idea! I’ll be looking for it!

Todd,
I love this approach. A church knows (or hopefully knows) their community better than someone or church in another city. If we can take the concepts, processes and procedures from other successful ministries and apply them to our context, your model MAY vary, but can work.
It’s somewhat discouraging that I need to travel to another city and fork out funds to attend a conference to obtain this type of information.
Perhaps a more meaningful and (perhaps justified) approach to selling a process or model is to have a consultant of sorts come on site for 6-12 months (or whatever) and apply the model to the church seeking help. The point would not be to make oodles of money, but a cost effective consultancy where an individual or team would live and walk the ground we walk on and build a model that works for us.
Kudos to Northpoint for just being Kingdom focussed and not concerned about building their Kingdom. This is the example that I want to follow.
What do you think?

I went to the link and I can see some general comments about how NP operates but I don’t see any free documents. Am I missing it or are there no sample documents to download?
