Ryan Bolger, author of Emerging Churches, has an excellent, excellent (yes, its worth two “excellents”!) post on the purpose of the worship gathering. Is the gathering to attract people from the outside or is it for the worshipping community…
Here’s an excerpt from from his post…
“I just received a question from an associate that asked how to start a service to attract people from outside the church. I encouraged her to give up on this idea.
But what is wrong with starting a relevant church for seekers?”
I’ll let you read the rest of his post on his blog, but I would love to hear your thoughts to this article..
