Episode 55 | Sunday Attraction: Creating The Elevated Excuse To Invite

Pastor and creator of "Back To Church Sunday," Pastor Hal Seed of the New Song Community Church in Oceanside, California, shares how they have created the "elevated excuse to invite" for Sundays throughout the year for the purpose of attracting the lost to church so that they can reach them with the Gospel. This is an "insiders recording" with Hal Seed that we were able to get access to in order to help and encourage you to create more attractional Sundays to reach the lost.

NOTES: Hal Seed:  Sunday Attraction – Creating An Elevated Excuse for Inviting to Church

6:41 Attractional Evangelism still works

6:50 Everyday is a good day to bring someone to Jesus, but some days are better than others.  

7:00 Sundays are the best day to lead someone to Jesus

7:13 All Sundays are good Sundays to bring someone to Jesus, but some Sundays are better than others.  For example, Easter and Mother’s day. People will attend on these Sunday’s even if they don’t come any Sunday of the year

8:44 3 Elevated Excuses to invite people to church:

9:20 Attractional Campaigns

• During attractional campaigns, everyone does the same thing at the same time in a church. There is a broad purpose that appeals to everyone.

• Has a book involved that everyone is reading. Has sermons for 5 or 6 weeks on that particular campaign, etc.

• Ramping up for the campaign is huge. Getting people involved and plugged in is key

• The more a church does an attractional campaign, the more it will grow

12:04 Wow Weekend

• Have someone come in or an event that people only have one opportunity to be a part of Ex: had Bethany Hamilton come and speak

13:46 Comeback Event

• Created a national back to church Sunday and churches saw a 35% increase in attendance that Sunday 14:56
