Lessons in Church Planting

Today was awesome.  We did a community car wash and a block party.  We had a blast!  A team from Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY was here today to help us.  They worked hard all day long!

Here are a few things that I learned today!

  • People are astounded when you do something just to show them God’s love with no strings attached.
  • Car washes really get people’s attention – we had at least 10 people tell us that they were interested in checking out Revolution.
  • Having a staff person who is willing to stand on a corner and dance with a sign to get people to come get their car washed will get a lot of peoples attention!
  • Interns are amazing.  It is so nice to have three summer interns.  I am very grateful for all that they are doing!
  • Being able to articulate the vision of your church in one sentence is crucial when talking with people who don’t go to church.
  • Being able to relate what you are doing to serve someone to the vision of your church will help them decide pretty quick whether or not they are ever going to attend.
  • I am glad that we are starting to hold pre-launch services next weekend because a ton of people asked if we were meeting together already.

That’s it for now… more lessons as we do more experiments!
