Show Notes
- John and Michelle took leadership of Legacy Church after they had a long history of leading in ministries in the midwest.
- Legacy was known as Calvary Church under the previous leadership for over 40 years.
- The church leadership pursued a new paster from outside their circle because they had become internally focused.
- John came in with a fresh vision that the church leadership knew it needed.
- Church Brand Guide was referred to John by a pastor friend to help them go through the rebranding process.
- They renamed the church because several churches in the area had the “Calvary” name, so John wanted a new name to separate themselves.
- “Legacy” was chosen to be the new name because they have a vision for a church that reaches three generations.
- Church Brand Guide helped them define their strategy and language to bring people together to rally around the new vision.
- Legacy Church grew significantly in 2021, going from 102 people in January to 360 at their Christmas service in December.
- Legacy decided on the tagline of “Encounter God. Live for More.”
