Let's Reach Out!
We live in a sea of people who do not yet know Christ. There are enough people in your community to fill up every church in your town fifty times. This is one reason that we find transfer church growth so distasteful. God gave us Connecting Points when we began to hunger to reach the lost and not just to grow our church. It is critical that we are more interested in reaching the lost than growing our church. We are not sure how interested God is in growing our church; but He has proven how He feels about reaching the lost. He proved His heart at Calvary. It is a matter of priorities. Let’s face it, if we reach the lost we will not be able to stop our church from growing. If on the other hand we strive just to grow our church we may find ourselves wandering lost in the forest of other peoples’ methodologies and miss altogether God’s plan for reaching the lost in our own culture and more specifically in our own community. When we speak of community we are not just speaking of people who live near your church. In today’s society, community has more to do with culture and less to do with geographic proximity. We believe God wants to reach the lost in your community more than you do. If this is true then it stands to reason that He has a plan to reach them. We believe that the principles of Connecting Points will lead you to that specific plan. God help us to Reach Out!
