Invite People To Church

1. Make it Personal and Relatable:

• Use storytelling:

  Share anecdotes about how the church has helped you or others, making it relatable and engaging. 

• Be genuine and authentic:

  Let your passion for the church shine through, rather than sounding like a sales pitch. 

• Share your own experiences:

  Talk about how church has impacted your life, the community, or specific aspects you enjoy. 

• Focus on the positive:

  Highlight the good things about your church, like the community, the teachings, or the music. 

2. Make it Easy and Welcoming:

• Offer a specific invitation:

  Instead of just saying "come to church," suggest a specific service or event, like "I'd love for you to join me for the Sunday service this week." 

• Offer a ride or coordinate transportation:

  Make it easy for them to attend by offering to pick them up or meet them at the church. 

• Provide information about the church:

  Share details about the church's website, address, service times, and what to expect when they arrive. 

• Consider a "Plan Your Visit" option:

  Many churches have a way for visitors to schedule a visit in advance, which can make them feel more comfortable. 

• Don't be afraid of rejection:

  Not everyone will accept your invitation, and that's okay. 

3. Choose the Right Approach:

• Consider different methods: Text messages, social media posts, phone calls, or in-person conversations are all options. 

• Be mindful of the other person's comfort level: Don't push too hard or make them feel pressured. 

• Follow up with a reminder: A simple text or phone call a day or two before the service can help them remember and feel encouraged. 

• Don't be discouraged by a "no": Follow up with them later or try again another time.
