An Important Issue?—Start an IMPACT Team!

Aug 19, 2025

Every church faces moments when the Spirit highlights something urgent. A gap in discipleship. A need in the community. A cultural shift waiting to happen. And too often, those moments get stuck in the “good idea” phase—never moving into action.

That’s where IMPACT Teams come in.

 

What’s an IMPACT Team?

An IMPACT Team is a Spirit-led, lay-powered group designed to turn vision into movement. It’s not another committee. It’s a mission-ready unit that forms around a specific issue God is highlighting.

Whether it’s launching a trauma-equipped ministry, planting a microchurch, or shifting church culture—IMPACT Teams are built to respond quickly, prayerfully, and effectively.

 

Why Start One?

Because God's important issues deserve action, and pastors can’t do it all.

IMPACT Teams:

  • Mobilize new lay leaders

  • Create momentum without burning out staff

  • Test ideas with God before implementation

  • Build capacity for cultural change and Kingdom growth

 

Real Examples

  • A church sees empty pews and realizes the missing members match the number of marginalized people nearby. → Start an IMPACT Team for healing discipleship.

  • A congregation wants to launch mission points but lacks structure. → Start an IMPACT Team to build and deploy a planting strategy.

  • A pastor feels called to shift church culture but needs help. → Start an IMPACT Team to lead the change from within.

 

You Don’t Need More Meetings. You Need Movement.

If God is highlighting an issue in your church, don’t wait. Start an IMPACT Team. Let’s move from inspiration to implementation—together.
