Grow Course: Four Week Invitation Plan
Marie-Louise Aitken outlines a practical way to set a culture of invitation in your church.
Exercise
In this video, Marie suggests a four-week plan to spark a culture of invitation in your church.
- Research at Alpha UK shows that 94% of guests were invited by a friend or family member, and an average of 1 in 6 invitations are successful. In light of these figures, what ambitious goal could you set for invitation in your church? What do you think about Mary’s suggestion of setting [Congregation size x 6] as a target?
- On Sundays, how can you make the invisible invitation, visible? How can you facilitate the sharing of stories of invitation in your church? Could your church introduce a message or sermon series specifically on invitation?
- How can you then make the visible, accountable? Can you establish prayer triplets over the next four weeks? How can you let this culture take hold in your midweek gatherings?
