Church culture is important to the outreach of a church, and subsequently, how much members will invite others. Today we discuss how inviting can create and improve the church culture.

Some highlights from today’s episode include:

• Church culture is important because it is to be a reflection of the gospel in a local church.
• If you provide invitation cards to church members, they are more likely to invite others to church than if they don’t have something to hand to others.
• Having a healthy church culture has much more to do than the worship style of the church being “cool.”
• A welcome team is a worthless team if it is not a joyous team.

The six reasons we discuss are:

1. Invitations are natural and desired.
2. The first-time guest becomes an inviter.
3. The welcome team loves their ministry.
4. The pastor is naturally inclined to encourage invitations to church.
5. The worship spirit is strong.
6. Energy and time are expended on those things that really matter.
