Acting like you want to become

There are a lot of small churches out there. And that's okay. Not every church needs the aim of having the term "mega" as a prefix.

But there are lessons that smaller churches and ministries can learn from their larger brethren.

Especially if growth is one of their primary aims.

If a church or ministry wants to get to the next level, or beyond, then it is wise to begin acting like they want to become.

Develop leaders like those they want to become.
Treat visitors in a similar manner to those they want to become.
Strive for quality like those they want to become.
Communicate like those they want to become.
Advertise like those they want to become.

The purpose is not to become a carbon copy, but to have the structures in place to achieve and manage the time when they start to reach their goals.
