Is Church a Business?

Is the church a business enterprise or a spiritual enterprise? There are two extremes in the church that are equally dangerous. On one extreme, the church is seen as a business. The pastor, as CEO. It believes God has given man wisdom to make decisions- so decisions can lean on the logical side, downplaying "being led by the Spirit." On the other extreme is the spiritualized church. Here, everything is "being led by the spirit." Also, this side only reads Christian books and believe all useful knowledge can be gleamed from the Bible.
I was reading numerous book on small group and got to the point that I said, "If I read one more book that spends most of the time trying to win me over to start a small group and explains why small groups are God's purpose in community, I'm going to throw up." So, I've started to read books in other disciplines to apply knowledge from there to small groups. I've read a few business books recently. I loved them so much! But, I couldn't help myself easily forgetting that church is a spiritual enterprise after reading them. I began to think about all the techniques I could employ to help people to change- to move them in the direction I wanted them to go. I've stopped recently and asked myself, "Is this what church is supposed to be, a place where I use cool logic and techniques to move people to where I want them?" In part I think the answer is yes, as long as I remember that the ultimate goal is not just to move people to make the changes I want, but to bring them into a lively relationship with a real God who really shows up in our life. Also to make them disciples to a real Jesus who asks them to die daily. This is my ultimate goal. If I lose sight of that, then I've forgotten why I'm doing what I'm doing. Someone would just be serving because that's how the process works, instead of an opportunity to meet a real God. We must glean knowledge from research that's done out there on groups, but we also can't lose sight of the reason we're learning new things. It's a tough balance.
