Growth in a church doesn’t have to be the result of a large strategy. Today we discuss how a few small things can lead to big growth.

Some highlights from today’s episode include:

  • Many pastors and church leaders try to start too much in their church.
  • Too many local community ministries don’t have a clear outreach component that connects people to a church service.
  • Outreach to local adults with special needs is a great opportunity for a church to serve its community.
  • Small increases in a church can lead to big momentum for growth.

The five micro-strategies we discuss are:

  1. Get a commitment from one or two groups.
  2. Start a ministry from scratch with a clear outreach component to it.
  3. Find a group in your community that may be neglected in ministry.
  4. Make Pray and Go an ongoing ministry of your church.
  5. Try a few of the 16 adjustments.

    Mr. Rainer,
    LifeWay resources were the first to publish my outreach manual: It’s 4 uMom / Building relationships through every stage of Mothering. The goal is to reach community moms we do not know by opening the church dining room, invite community moms, sit around the table, build friendships, witness, win them and grow the church. I have been doing this outreach ministry for over 10 years. It is international as well as in several US states. When God is in it, it works.
