I would add that churches stop growig because they stop growing leaders. The more people, the more small group leaders, home group leaders, pastors and teachers you need . . . senior leadership does not always like this - especially if some on the team are better at doing those things than those at the "top"! Release leadership and responsibility to others, keep doing it . . . . keep growing.

Dear Leader:

You follow Jesus before you lead others - serve Him faithfully and with humility

You can be a catalyst for the Kingdom - dont build your own empire

You will have many opportunities to speak - spend time with God so that you have something to say
