invite

The core dynamic of evangelism is investing and inviting.

Inviting someone to dinner group comes naturally. But even if you don’t share those traits, having a small group invitation template can be a big help.

People who wouldn’t come some other time of the year show up at Christmas. And we have a great opportunity to tell them about Jesus and to encourage them to come back to church. You can use Christmas services to help your members sense that they are a part of something big and exciting.

I believe that prayer by the pastor should be one of the highest moments in public worship services. This moment of public intercession can be absolutely powerful.

Maybe the only experiences people in your church have ever had with talking about church or inviting someone are downright painful.

After a large event with a big spike in new visitors, your attendance reports are going to look pretty nice for a week or two. But it doesn’t take long for reality to set back in as you see a return back to your regular pattern in the weeks to follow.

How do we treat those visiting or relatively new to our churches in ways that make them know we are glad they came?

A national campaign asks what it would happen if we asked everyone in America to come back to church.
