7 Ways to Grow Church Attendance by Increasing Engagement


In an era of declining church attendance, how do you grow your church and advance your mission?

Well, one key is this: you turn ordinary attenders into passionate champions of the mission. Not convinced? I outlined 5 reasons why engagement will drive almost all future church growth in this post.

For too long, too many North American Christians have thought that sitting passively in the back row to get fed is what’s required of them, or that the main goal of finding a church is to attend one you ‘like.’

The goal of any Christian should never be to find a church you like and sit in the back row. The goal should be to fully engage the mission.

Engaged people are passionate people. They know what the mission is. They serve in it. They live it out.

They’re passionate enough about it to invite their friends.

The disengaged group will dwindle. The 300 engaged Christians will advance the mission and never stay the same.

Yes, only God can bring growth. But he uses people who are engaged to do it.

So if you were going to drive engagement at your church, how would you do it?

Here are 7 ways. Read More
