The trinity who shape the theology of your church

Of course, your theology should be shaped by the bible, guided by the Holy Spirit.

Now we’ve gotten that necessary caveat out of the way…

Practically, three people shape the theology of a congregation.

The senior minister.

The children’s worker.

The worship leader.

Really, the people should be called…

The one who gives the sermon.

The one who gives the kid’s address in church.

The one who selects the music.

They don’t need to be in vocational ministry or hold any specific title, but in these hands is where theology is caught by most people sitting in the pews.

The preacher gives it depth.

The talk to the children gives it simplicity.

The songs make it memorable.

The imprint of any Sunday will be shaped by all three and leave a lasting impression over time.

With this responsibility, each leg of the theology stool must be aligned or the understanding of the flock, particularly those newer to the faith, will be confused.
