10:30 – 11:30am Charles "Chip" Arn - Side-Doors: Effective Church Outreach in the 21 Century.
Most churches rely on their "front doors" (visitors to Sunday worship) to provide newcomers to grow. Unfortunately, in most congregations, there are not enough people coming in the front door to make up for those going out the back door (death, transfer, inactivity). Growing churches have discovered the power-and the fun-of building side-doors, and how they dramatically increase the potential for connecting with unchurched people. This session introduces the "what," "why," and "how" of building side-doors, the foundation process in the upcoming PSWD 2-year strategy: Building Side-Doors.
