Read this earlier today over on Steven Furtick's blog. I agree with Steven - BIG TIME. This is EXACTLY what we want to do at a2. Thanks to Steven for putting this into words. Awesome.
Innovative Church Growth Strategy #3492
Steven Furtick
At Elevation, we spend a lot of time trying to create experiences that unchurched people would want to attend. That will never change. It’s our mission, our meaning, and our reason for existing.
So that people far from God will be filled with life in Christ.
But our primary target audience is…Jesus.
Our worship service is ultimately for…Him.
For His pleasure. For His glory. For His honor. For His praise.
And since no man comes to Jesus unless the Father draws Him, maybe the theological essence of our church growth strategy to reach the unchurched could be restated like this:
Create a church and a service that God wants to come to
And He’ll bring people with Him.
How’s that for innovative?
