Here are 20 Facts About the Unchurched People Who Visit Your Church by Brian Dodd:
Which of these have you experienced? Which of these surprises you?
Comment
Very true, Ron. That identification with the pastor/minister when people come in is huge in them coming back or not. And if they can connect with someone else, as you suggest, that is very big too.
This is a great list. I have experienced just about all the "facts," and none are really surprising. One observation is that in addition to liking the pastor it is really helpful if visitors can make solid, really solid, contact with someone at the church who takes a personal interest in them without smothering them.
Great point, Paul. I am still surprised by how many people do not understand this. This is the reason why I seek to look nice, but not formal, when I preach. If Jesus, who became like one of us to reach us were here, what would he wear?
I know that he did not wear a suite and tie in the 1st century. :)
