Episode 59: Realistic Attendance Expectations and Why they Matter

Episode 59: Realistic Attendance Expectations and Why they Matter

 

When will we meet together as a church?

 

What will it look like when we do?

 

Will we be the same as before the lock down?

 

Why is it unrealistic

 

• Cultural reality
  • Sundays aren’t sacred, maybe we need to change.
  • Most churches haven’t considered when they meet.

• Spiritual reality
  • Make up of your church
    • Spiritually mature
    • Spiritually growing
    • Spiritually immature
    • Cultural Christians & Non-believers
  • If you are healthy, you have all groups, can’t expect the same commitment from all groups.
  • Ideally, you have 25% from each group

• Practical Reality
  • Nature of real life
    • sick
    • travelling
    • Spiritually worn down

Why has it changed?

• Loss of cultural Christianity
