Thanks so much. The one I might add is to hold the line once you've decided who your target is. Ours is those who have been profoundly disappointed by religion or God. I realized the benefit to holding the line just recently when I did a memorial service for someone who used to attend our church. The audience was a who's who of people that left our church because it wasn't what they wanted. I shared with our elders it was a great lesson of the benefit of holding the line of who we wanted to be as a church and who we are trying to reach. Holding the line can be very difficult, but well worth it in the end. Blessings, Dave Ron,

Great post! If I were a church, I'd put loving God & loving your neighbor at eye level. I'd put reading your bible, meeting with other Christians to discuss it. I'd put discipleship & intentional christ-centered gatherings of a few people.
