Good morning from Orlando. I'm back at Exponential '09 and this morning's topic is "5 lessons to save you 5 years." The presenter is Jon Ferguson of Community Christian Church in Naperville, Illinois.

Carl George was right, "The central leadership task of the church, after hearing from God is to develop leaders."

Lesson 1: The Leadership Lesson.

A. The Matrix (not the movie)--an organizational way of knowing how many leaders are needed and a chart for names of people to be these leaders.

B. Launch Team development--125 people to launch a new campus with 500 people on opening day with 300-350 people to stay after opening day. Launch Team meets monthly 4-5 months before launch. Last month before opening day the Launch Team meets weekly. The purpose is to develop the team, cast vision, and energize for the launch.

New people need a relationship and responsibility.

Children's ministry seems to be the hardest area to have enough leaders for.

C. Leadership Community--monthly meeting of leaders. Vision, Huddle, and Skills is the format for the meeting.

Share wins, challenges, and best practices.
