Craig Groeschel recently discussed the harsh reality that many people who visit your church may not come for the preaching or to grow spiritually but for reasons such as:

• Because the church is close to their home.
• Because the church offers a Saturday evening worship time that fits their schedule.
• Because their three year old loves the teacher.
• Because the church has a mother’s day out.
• Because the church has a cute and single band member.
• Because the church service doesn’t last for half the day.
• Because someone remembers their name.

In a fast paced-Western culture, convenience and benefits are big influencers on how people spend their time. Having a user-friendly church in and of itself will not transform people spiritually, but it will attract people so that they can here a message that will.
