What would it look like if week after week you presented the gospel and invited people to respond?

You can do this on Sundays, in Children’s Programs, Youth and Young Adults and any other time.

In this webinar, I lay out some key concepts in presenting the gospel, inviting people to respond, and following up with them.  

Missional vitality is one of the PAOC’s desired outcomes for its churches and ministries. We have been in a serious, ongoing evaluation of the status of that vitality as it relates to the health of our churches and their ability to multiply.

When I look at Canadian churches that are experiencing growth by conversion, there is one common characteristic I see: they are relentlessly outward bound. At some point they made a decision that they will be about the people who are not yet a part of their church.

We’ve been empowered to reach those who are far from God. This is a vital mission in our world. We must not lose courage in being a distinct people called to a unique purpose.

Prior to change of habit comes a change of heart. If you want to vitalize your church, understanding this change of heart is crucial for you and your congregation.

In order to cheat the law of church life cycle, a church must biblically “recatalyze” when it encounters or is about to encounter plateau. Then it can overcome the impending inertia and press forward with another chapter of growth.

Look at our worship experience through the lens of a non-Christian. Church is soooo boring and irrelevant. Especially our music. We want people to meet Jesus, but if they check out in the first few minutes of a service because they’re disengaged, you likely will not win them back.

We still hear stories of people coming to Jesus Christ. So, what does that look like in Canada? Here are some insights into how Canadians can reach Canadians.

Vitalization is way more than getting a definition of success right. It’s a learning process. It’s doing what Jesus calls his leader/followers to become—faithful and fruitful.

“What do you do?”

This is a common question in our world that we have probably answered countless times. However, what about our fellowship, our tribe, us as Pentecostals, what do we do?…

As you think about the fall and suitable ministry opportunities, give some consideration to the university and college campuses in your area.

The more you seek to serve your community, the greater the opportunity for a positive Christian witness…

How can you engage your community on a regular basis and build bridges of relationship? Here are four ideas that you can use to engage your community.

The natural gravitational pull of every church is to become inward focused. Eventually, it becomes about us and our preferences over the mission of the church; reaching lost people…

A value that I’ve seen being adopted by vitalized churches is to be “Relentlessly Outward Bound.” This becomes a core statement in the life of the church that helps congregants identify exactly what the church is here to do…

Unless we are intentional, the community will not come to us. Pastors and ministry leaders should be spending intentional time each week building relationships into the community…

It’s always a good idea to build bridges into your community but Summer is a great time here in ABNWT. Do whatever you can to reach those who are not yet a part of the family of God…

Week after week there seems to be a disconnect between the desire to reach people with the gospel, and the actual doing. What is holding your congregation back? What could really get you the results you’re praying for?
