Transform Your Church with Proven Outreach Strategies
Get practical and actionable ways to expand your church’s reach, attract more visitors, and foster meaningful connections with your community.
People Are Spiritually Open… They Just Aren’t Attending.
New research from Barna Group reveals that 77% believe in God or a higher power, 74% of Americans would like to grow spiritually, and 44% are more spiritually open than before the pandemic.
Despite the challenges faced by many churches today, there are still churches experiencing rapid growth in attendance and engagement—even with younger generations.
By learning how to share the message of the Gospel in a way that resonates with a changing world, you can attract new visitors and members to your church.
Don’t let discouragement hold you back. If you’re ready to spread the hope of the Gospel, reach more people, and leave a lasting impact on your community, you’re in the right place.
What Would Your Church Look Like If…
Your most engaged members brought new people each week?
Apathy towards your mission turned into passion for your mission?
New guests engaged in life-changing conversations?
Your church had a thriving culture that attracted others?
Introducing The Art of Reaching
The strategies, insights, and practical tools in The Art of Reaching will transform the effectiveness of your outreach efforts.
By the end of the course, you and your staff will have developed an action plan to connect with your community (both in-person and online), increase the number of first-time guests you see each week, and have clear next steps for how they can engage with your church.
In The Art of Reaching, Carey Nieuwhof and Mark Clark teach you how to:
- Master the first-time guest experience, ensuring that visitors feel welcomed and engaged from the moment they arrive.
- Develop an approach to digital evangelism and digital discipleship that leads to in-person experiences and life transformation.
- Understand the mindset of unchurched people so you can develop more effective outreach strategies.
- Preach the Gospel in a way that’s faithful to your beliefs and connects with both churched and unchurched people.
- Train your members in the 8 characteristics of discipleship, empowering them to live out their faith and be effective witnesses to others.
- Create a culture of participation and involvement that leads to growth.
- Understand why people are attending church less often and develop a counter-approach that will address these issues.
- Develop content for your weekend services that you know (in advance) is engaging, relevant, and impactful
The Art of Reaching is a series of on-demand videos, application guides, and an e-book that provide strategies you can implement right away. While only God can grant growth, this course will help you position your church to make a lasting impact on the lives of those around you.
