Why People Go to Your Church
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.
