4. You don’t advertise.
There’s a reason that Coca-Cola and McDonalds advertise – even though they have billions of customers.
There are strategic things you can do to get new people to come to church but, right now, you’re not doing any of them.
5. They haven’t been invited.
Personal invitations are the #1 way new people end up at church, but you’re not challenging (or equipping!) your people to invite.
6. You’re not talking about what they care about.
You’re talking about Bible stuff, church stuff, and Christian stuff, not the things that people struggle with in their daily lives. Maybe you’ve let the fear of “watering down the Gospel” keep you from talking practically, but not talking about what people want to know about is a sure-fire way to keep people away.
Which one of those areas rings true for you? What would you add to this list?
