Outline of Orientation
Event
for Evangelism Calling on First-time Worship Visitors
-- First question: "Why should we do this?"
Second question: "Why shouldn't we do
this?!?"
-- Two kinds of calling: "cold calls" and
"visits to first-time worship attenders"
-- Evangelism calling and the congregation's "evangelism
climate"
-- "The Evangelism Climate" -- Part I
.... "tell me about your church"
.... "tell me about your pastor"
.... "tell me about your denomination"
-- How to make a call -- Part I
Some decisions: "doorstep calls"? Gifts? To phone or not to phone?
Timing?
-- How to make a call -- Part II
The text: Herb Miller, "How to Visit First-Time Worship Visitors"
Principles
Dealing with hard cases
"Right-sizing" your expectations
-- The Evangelism Climate" -- Part II
The "friendliness factor." Greeters and ushers and hosts. Nametags? To
introduce or not (some generational differences)? Church promotional materials. The
"friendliness" of the worship bulletin.
-- Next Steps....
Getting organized. Doing it. Evaluating and encouraging one another. Pray.
