Episode notes
Weekend Services as Front Door
- Weekend services remain the central place where seekers explore faith and can experience worship evangelism.
- These services mirror Jesus' ministry approach of reaching people through crowds gathered around him.
Examples of Growth Leveraging Weekend
- Centerpoint Church is growing 35% and Cedar Crest Church 39% by leveraging their weekend services as main outreach.
- Their services put new people at ease with normal language, great teams and relevant teaching.
Design Big Weekends for Visitors
- Avoid an obligation mindset on big weekends; design experiences for new visitors' needs.
- Don't overload with church-centric content that new people won't relate to or find engaging.
