The value of any organization – including small churches – lies in its leadership. For it is leadership that defines and envisions what an organization is about. When I think about organizational structure three levels come to mind. Those are first level leaders, second level leaders, and support people. Successful organizations figure out how to draw leadership from all three levels.

My hope is that gochurch.info will eventually serve as a resource for all three levels of leadership. With more small churches turning toward part-time or even free ministry, and more congregations returning to the New Testament style of a priesthood of all believers in their ministry, new ways to resource leaders must be found.

The basic concept of gochurch.info is about leaders sharing their knowledge and insights by Web technology.

Who would have thought that science would prove Jesus?

While it seems Christianity has been at odds with science since Newton dropped the apple, neurological studies of the brain are revealing a human gospel that sounds a whole lot like the one first attributed to Jesus of the New Testament.

The human brain “is hot wired for religion” Andrew Newberg, M.D., and Mark Robert Waldman write in their book How God Changes Your Brain.

Newberg is the director of the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Spirituality and the Mind. He is one of the founders of a new interdisciplinary field called neurotheology. The study of how faith effects the mind. Neither Newberg or Waldman confess membership in any established religion. Newberg believes God is more than any religion understands, Waldman sees god as a metaphor.
