After reading an article that I had written titled, 
“Leaders of Men”, a pastor said to me, "Bro. Harris, I'm 
reading your article on leadership, and I'm upset". As our 
conversation continued I found out, with much relief, that 
he was upset at himself. It seems that he had been 
"plateaued" for several years and needed to do something 
about it. 
 
This was not something that I had not heard over and over 
again. Not only across this country, but on many mission 
fields as well. Most pastors struggle with this problem. 
If you are struggling, GET HELP! Note the following steps 
to start the old engine running again. 
 
CHECK OUT THE "GUY IN CHARGE". Is he willing to make the 
changes needed in his own life and yes, in his own 
thinking? If YOU are not willing to stand before your 
church and tell them that everything is going to change, 
then don’t read any further. We already know what the 
problem is. 
 
IF YOU ARE WILLING, then get on your face before God. Make 
the decision, get the vision, make the commitment, decide  
what God's will is (and with the Holy Spirit of God 
speaking to your heart) - go to the church. 
 
* CHANGE YOUR STYLE OR THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU RUN THE 
CHURCH. 
* CHANGE YOUR ORGANIZATION. If it’s not working, why not?  
* CHANGE YOUR SERVICE TIME. Stir up your services. If the 
services are dead , wake it up. 
* CHANGE YOUR PREACHING STYLE. If your style of preaching 
is not having Holy Ghost power effect, check up. 
* ORGANIZE TO EVANGELIZE! Sunday School is the only way to 
build a church. I believe this to be true. So, if your 
Sunday School is not organized and consistently growing 
then you have the reason for your plateaued conditions. 
FIRE-UP YOUR SUNDAY SCHOOL! 
 
* Have a Sunday School Revival.  
* Have a Bible Study/Sunday School Seminar.  
Call in a Experienced Man. A man that’s growing a great 
church through the Sunday School. If you don't know someone 
like that than call Regions Beyond 479-531-8694 and ask for 
Dr. Roy Harris. I can give you some names. 
 
And, as I have said so many times: "DO SOMETHING!" 
- Dr. Roy Harris
