Most churches are “nose blind” to the way their facilities smell and look. First impressions matter, so invite a trusted outsider to give honest feedback about odors, cobwebs, clutter, and neglected spaces. Stewardship means creating a space that feels cared for and welcoming.

Some of the best ministry I’ve ever been part of didn’t happen on a stage—it happened around a table. No program. No timer. Just food, Scripture, and people showing up for each other. Maybe what your church needs isn’t more events. Maybe it just needs more presence."
