Get Your Strategy On
“Growth” Workshop Notes
Aug52005 Filed under: Leadership Author: Tony MorganI didn’t have a chance before vacation to post our notes from the Simply Strategic Growth workshop we hosted here at Granger a couple of weeks ago. Here’s the handout we distributed with all the answers. There are a couple of schedules included in the handout that may be beneficial to your teams that are responsible for planning weekend services.

Hey Tony,
I am the student pastor at Bay Area Fellowship in Corpus Christi, TX. Thanks for the props on the top-ten list. My question comes from the notes that you taught at the growth conference. One of the things I think about more than anything is the invitation part of the service. You said that you guys build up to one in each series instead of doing it every week. When you do the invitations, how do you do them? And also what led you guys to the decision of doing it only once during the series? We used to do only do it once a series and I felt like it was not enough and now we do it every week and sometimes I feel it is just routine. Any thoughts would be great.

Jason, the notes suggest that we only offer invitations occasionally. This past weekend was an example. We don’t do a specific invitation in every series. People are obviously accepting Christ in many other places outside of those targeted invitation weekends. As you’ve suggested, the primary reason this approach appears to be more effective is because it just becomes part of the routine if you do it too often. And, at Granger, nothing is routine.
