Fantasy Church Team


Anybody can have a fantasy sports team... How about starting a FANTASY CHURCH LEAGUE? You can pick your pastor, pick your staff, pick your parishioners. Earn points for baptisms, conversions (1 point or 2 point), number of small groups, missions trips, youth group sleepovers, etc, etc. Come on, sign up today! Let’s make it a REALITY and score a win for the kingdom!

And you can trade in your theology/doctrine every week for a new theology/doctrine that will yield higher scores! (lol)

I was JUST talking to someone about an idea like this. We said start a Major League church...then when we got people we didn't want or who's faith needed work...we could just send them back to the minors!

Ontario Emperor,
That's a good one. Thanks for chiming in.
peace.

Jah,
No, you cannot have Brett Favre for a pastor! :)

Frank,
Good idea. I was thinking more along the lines of fantasy football, but the baseball analogy works better in that regard. Thanks!

I'd have to go with whomever is speaking at the major conferences this year.

And by that, I don't mean the people on stage. Rather, I mean the staff members who go to those conferences and actually speak with each other (versus just nodding, taking notes, and looking professional).

Tony,
I like your reasoning. Learners make the best leaders. Thanks for stopping by.
peace,
Dan

Can you send people to hell for points or would that be a deduction??? Robin introduced me to your blog. I love this idea!!!!

Hi Shelly,
I hadn't thought about sending people to hell. Hmm, that's an interesting idea.
Welcome aboard!
