Engaging The Unchurched

My good friend and fellow pastor Brandon Duff wrote a great post about what should happen when we engage the unchurch. Brandon's church, Church At The Falls in Canada, is a fellow LifeChurch.tv Network church.

Engaging Unchurched
When we started CATF we had a goal, engage unchurched people. The question that follows is, how do we engage the unchurched when they are part of one of our environments on Sunday or through the week? I'm sure there are a bunch of ideas, but here are some basics that will work.
To reach unchurched we need to create an environment:

* where people feel included, where they don't feel like they have to break into the inner circle.
* where children and adults may not understand it all but they enjoy it, they look forward to coming back.
* where people are treated with kindness (what a novel idea - insert sarcasm), where they feel like an honoured guest.
* where we appeal to the unchurched and they are attracted to our values (God's values lived through us), where their children can learn good values, where they can find practical help for marriage, work, family, life.

We are doing a good job at this and we can continue to improve. Think about how you can make a difference.
