Worship attendance swings can be dramatic in local churches. Today we discuss why that is and how to combat it.
Some highlights from today’s episode include:
- Your church attendance pattern is more of a factor of what your church members are doing than an effect of cultural Christianity.
- Churches with on-campus groups often have smaller attendance variances than those with off-campus or in-home groups.
- When there is an entry point for church membership, member accountability is higher and involvement is usually greater.
- Sunday morning can be a difficult time to make it to worship for up to 1/3 of your community due to work arrangements or other factors.
The six points we discuss are:
- It’s not all cultural
- The power of on-campus groups
- Leadership involvement > ministry involvement
- Still more emphasis on entry points
- Urgent follow-up on entry points
- Is it time for a renewal of options?
