It's not clear why church leaders consider the word 'business' negative when discussing operational, financial, or staff decisions. In reality, churches have staff, payroll, expenses, communication campaigns, and even loans for buildings. Sounds a lot like a 'church business.'
There’s no denying that technology has introduced many cultural implications for the people who walk through our church doors every Sunday. On one hand, we are more networked than ever before. We go to work, interact with people we see at the gym, talk with other parents at our kids’ soccer practices, and probably even attend church most Sundays.
