Summer is right around the corner. The weather is warm; school is out; and people are feeling like doing something new. How does a church grow during the summer?
Many churches actually plan for a summer slump. How do they do this” Several ways
- They reduce the number of worship services
- The choir takes off
- They change the worship times but the sign out front remains the same.
These are some of the ways. So how can you plan for a summer hump? People want to be outdoor in the summer so plan outdoor events where the public gather…
- Have a small group meet in the park;
- Ask your band to give a concert on the church lawn or in the public park;
- Do drive in movies in the park;
- Do many outdoor servant evangelism projects where people gather in the summer like giving water away with the church logo on it;
- Do one of your worship services outdoors on the church lawn or in the public park.
These are just a few ways, but for heaven’s sake quit reducing your ministry venues in the summer like listed above. Don’t cut anything back. Add.
