How to determine your effectiveness as a Campus Pastor

Butts in seats, that is all we care about! Have you ever heard that saying before? Or, have you ever thought that? I’m sure we all have had that desire to get butts in seats but is that the only way you gauge your effectiveness as a Campus Pastor? Do all you care about is getting people to an event or service?
