I'm Spiritual, Not Religious: How Stewardship Can Make a Difference -- ICSC 2013CatholicLifeandFaith
This document discusses how stewardship can help attract those who identify as "spiritual but not religious" (SBNR). It provides statistics on the SBNR population, noting that 15% self-identify as Catholic. It explores what the SBNR and unaffiliated seek - a spiritual dimension, personal connection, and mission/meaning. The document suggests stewardship can make a difference through hospitality, forming a community of disciples who live as stewards, and focusing on relationship within the community, with special attention to children, parents, youth and young adults. It provides resources on the SBNR population and attracting young adults to the church.
This second session of the the free seven-week online Church Communications Strategy Training Course focuses on Personal Profiles and how they are used in a communications strategy.
Attracting more visitors to your church - ACR straegiesDon Koehler
The document discusses how churches can attract more visitors by focusing on building relationships. It emphasizes that relationships are key, both in developing a personal relationship with God and connecting with others through small groups. While evangelism used to happen primarily through face-to-face interactions, many now build relationships online through social media. The document recommends that churches identify their strongest "relationship builder" like music or a pastor's sermons, then promote this on social media groups and platforms by engaging people who share related interests and driving them to the church website.
The document discusses whether organized children's sports are "killing the church" by competing for commitment and attendance. It argues that instead of viewing sports as opposition, churches should [1] tap into the high levels of commitment shown in sports and [2] see changes in the church as an opportunity for growth guided by God's resurrection process, not as a threat. The author provides examples of churches incorporating sports and activities in creative outreach that has increased children's engagement.

The document describes a "Simple Discipleship" process for churches to use to make disciples. It defines what a disciple is, outlines four primary values and ten expectations to drive into a church's culture. It also describes how churches can measure individual and church spiritual growth using surveys centered around worship, word, ministry and missions. Churches that have implemented the process have seen increases in attendance, participation in ministries, and average spiritual growth scores.
Event ministry is a form of direct youth ministry that involves gathering young people together in community to grow their faith and build up the body of Christ. When done well, event ministry has a sense of God's presence and activity, emphasizes spiritual growth and discipleship, promotes outreach and mission, and reflects congregational priority and support for youth ministry by fostering significant relationships and developing committed leadership. Effective event ministry requires intentional planning, including discerning the needs of youth, setting goals for events, recruiting and training adult leaders, and engaging the whole congregation in supporting youth.
Small groups rick howerton - denom church planting network 11-09Jason Condon
Small groups are vital for new church plants for several reasons. They allow guests to build friendships and find co-conspirators. Small groups are where leaders are discovered and can take on many of the functions of the church. This frees up the church planter to work on other tasks. When starting small groups, the first groups should serve as models. Multiplication should be built into the DNA of groups. Leaders need training, encouragement, and answers to questions. Groups are important for outreach and establishing the church's core values. There are seven small group systems that vary in focus, leadership structure, and target demographics.

Small groups are vital for new church plants for several reasons. They allow guests to build friendships and find co-conspirators. Small groups also help discover new leaders, and can fulfill many church functions until other ministries develop. Church planters should focus on establishing a strong small group model, ensuring groups multiply regularly through intentional design. While some say groups must follow strict rules, a church planting approach finds what works best for each context. Small groups provide community, spiritual growth, and outreach opportunities essential to a new church's core values and success.

DiscipleForward began as a two-and-a-half hour seminar in 2013, which later expanded to a half-day workshop. Participants expressed a desire for more application, so DiscipleForward evolved into a series of three full-day workshops. The workshops provide time for participants to process information and develop implementation plans to apply the concepts in their specific contexts. DiscipleForward continues adjusting its workshops based on participant feedback to better equip churches and leaders for intentional discipleship.
The document discusses ministry to young adults ages 18-35. It defines young adults and what they are seeking spiritually. The goals of young adult ministry are to connect them to Jesus, the church, the church's mission, and their peer community. Effective ministry integrates young adults into all aspects of parish life rather than just having separate programs. Parishes should empower young adult leaders to develop comprehensive ministry that meets young adults' unique needs.
The document provides guidance on developing an annual evangelism strategy for a church. It recommends beginning with prayer and preparation, then understanding the church's purpose and prioritizing evangelism. The key elements of a strategy are outlined as evangelistic prayer, personal evangelism training, events/activities, ministry/servanthood evangelism, visitation/follow-up, and leadership development. Goals should be set for these areas and needs assessed to implement the strategy. Regular evaluation allows improving the strategy annually to effectively reach the community for Christ.
The document discusses becoming a disciple-making church and outlines key aspects of discipleship according to Jesus' model. It emphasizes that discipleship is a lifelong commitment, not just a program or activity. True discipleship results in spiritual growth and character development rather than just knowledge acquisition. The document suggests churches should measure outcomes like spiritual maturity levels and number of mentoring relationships instead of just attendance and offerings.

The document discusses strategies for growing disciples. It emphasizes that growing disciples is the goal, not just running programs. It promotes developing a personal discipleship plan with priorities in three dimensions: commitment to God, connection to the church, and call to serve the world. Growing disciples happens through intentional relationships, using biblical content, and applying habits of discipleship over time. Churches are encouraged to develop cultures and strategies for making disciples of all people groups.

The document outlines the four phases of developing an effective church website:
1. Position - the website needs to rank highly in search engines so the church is visible online.
2. Acquisition - the website should be the primary outreach tool to attract new members to the church community.
3. Retention - the website connects and supports members between services by providing resources and community.
4. Condition - the website acts as a hub for all church communications and schedules, giving visitors a sense of the church's activities and community.
The document outlines goals for 2011 including discipleship training and mentorship. It describes the discipleship process involving a pastor's book and workbook followed by a customized study. Mentorship follows discipleship to help people mature. Additional goals include creative outreach strategies like volunteer opportunities, crusades, mass mailings, conferences, and specialized services. The document also describes bi-monthly team building gatherings called Equip and Impart to encourage and equip ministry teams and leadership. Specialized training will also be provided throughout the year.
The document proposes a social media plan for Green Pines Baptist Church. It recommends cleaning up old Facebook pages and groups, creating guidelines for current groups, and approving any new groups or pages. It suggests having a main church Facebook page and limiting other groups to include "Green Pines Baptist Church" at the end of their title. It also recommends having a Twitter account for staff and leaders to connect with members and the community. Training resources like ProChurchTools and social media certification courses are mentioned. Having a social media coordinator is proposed to oversee pages and groups.
The interview provided valuable insights into developing an environmental campaign for Lake Superior Christian Church. Key findings included that recycling and educating youth are priorities, and that communicating environmental issues without fear is important. The interviewee supported creating a community garden to care for the earth and people. Recycling challenges in Marquette emerged as a major theme. The interview informed the researchers' understanding of the problem and guided their survey questions on key issues like recycling difficulties and lack of education. Overall, the interview helped the researchers gain perspectives to create an effective environmental campaign for changing behaviors.
The document discusses the importance of intentional discipleship in churches. It notes that while many churches say they believe in making disciples, few are actually effective at doing so. Several experts are quoted highlighting issues like growth without depth, Christianity without discipleship, and believers being indistinguishable from non-believers. The document advocates for a more intentional focus on discipleship processes and defines discipleship as occurring through intentional, strategic efforts rather than just the existence of a church.
Jesus tells his disciples that even a small amount of faith can move mountains. The document discusses how parishes and the Knights of Columbus can grow their membership and impact through developing disciples with a personal relationship with God. It recommends several programs like Christ Renews His Parish, Called and Gifted, Catholic Alpha, and That Man Is You to help members discern their gifts and grow closer to God. The key is for all parish leaders to be prayerful, humble disciples themselves in order to fruitfully serve the parish.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

ministry lay persons should assume and then
search eagerly for volunteers to fulfill their

Enthusiasm is likely a main reason for the
impressive growth of some regardless of their
theological claims.

Members should learn to live their faith with
contagious enthusiasm and share it with
others.

inspiredness which comes from the Spirit of
God.
People attending truly "inspired" services

There is a greater tendency to give small group
priority over worship service attendance.
This infer the level of importance given to
small groups in growing churches.
Much of the essence of the church life is
worked out in small groups.

The point is to use already existing
relationships as contacts in evangelism.

large enough so that there was no need to
