3 Keys to an Explosive Fall

Key to an Explosive Fall #3 – Remove the Fear

People are generally fearful when walking into an environment that is unknown to them.

In this area, I believe churches that meet in rented facilities have an advantage over churches that have their own buildings. If you meet in a school or a movie theater, chances are the average person in your community has been inside that facility for one reason or another. If you own a church building, it’s possible that he/she has never even noticed your facility, much less been inside it.

Removing fear is about explaining what they will experience if they attend. Telling someone how long the services are is one way to remove fear. Letting people know to “come as they are” is another way to make them feel at ease. The more barriers you remove, the more likely it is that people will attend.

Here’s the bottom line: This fall can be the most explosive in the history of your church, but it won’t happen unless you’re intentional!

The best part of promotion from a church perspective is that we aren’t alone. God is working in the lives of people before they even receive a piece of mail, see a billboard, or hear a radio ad. Promotion is about us collaborating with God to see as many people as possible to come to know Jesus.

So don’t leave this avenue as an unused tool at the bottom of your toolbox. Use it, and see how effective it can be in your ministry.
