Step 3: Activate

You’ve gained an understanding of what it means to be Bible-Centered and discovered how other leaders pursue this. Now it’s time for you to chart next steps and activate this dimension in your own church.

Welcome to the third and final session in the Bible-Centeredness dimension! In the first session, David Kinnaman introduced the Bible-centeredness dimension as defined by Barna Group’s research: This dimension measures how well a church is helping congregants understand and live out biblical teachings.

In the second session, Tara Beth Leach—pastor of Good Shepherd Church in Naperville, Illinois—shared how her congregation keeps scripture central to their life together.
