We used Nieuwhof’s book in our Long Range Planning Group. I can't say it was real useful but did provoke some thoughts about what is wrong with our church (mainly our church is too stuck on past glory days - still a problem my opinion).
I notice the 9 things said in the link above (Jan 2016) are quite different from the 7 conversations we were supposed to have, or the ten reasons why churches don’t grow in his 2015 book.
We have recognized that we have not kept up with the computer revolution (a point Nieuwhof makes) and are trying to make more use of websites, TV displays in SS classes.
Our efforts are now on getting people in our doors with a set of classes - the Discovery Center. Starts Feb 27. Don’t know if it will work or not. See attached draft flyer. We are also putting example worship services (including our excellent Choir) on our website (not yet accomplished yet)
