One of the great things about the Church as it exists today is that a Sunday morning worship program can be a fantastic entry point to faith. It is an excellent place for people who know nothing about Christianity to start their journey with Jesus.

The only catch is that most people will not start their pilgrimage alone. Few are those who get up on a Sunday morning all alone and go to a Church where they know no one.

On the flip side, estimates indicate that 70% or more will attend a Church if they are invited and accompanied by a family member or friend.

One goal for the ministry I lead is to foster a “culture of inviting.” We will be a community where it is natural to invite those we love to join us on Sunday morning. It is not because we believe that Church attendance is the sum total of being a follower of Jesus, but it is undoubtedly a great place to start.
