Is This You, Pastor?
You've Gone to Conferences and Read Church Growth Books
👉 And they give you good ideas but not a comprehensive system that makes sense and that you can implement this coming week... especially with your limited time (most of us work another job).
You Don't Need Just Ideas. You Need a Simple, Proven System.
You've Tried to Get Your Members to Invite Their Friends and Family
👉 But it seems like your words are falling on deaf ears. They look at you (I've been there) and you know they are not going to do it very often, if at all. Even evangelism training doesn't help for long.
You Need to Be Able to Reach the Unchurched NOW. Today.
You've Tried Using Social Media But It Doesn't Seem Effective
👉You post invitations and flyers, pictures of yourself and your family having fun, asked questions and shared interesting quotes, but nothing comes from all that time on social media.
Social Media CAN Work When You Know How.
And then Covid hit and your church has shrunk in attendance, because they haven't come back in significant numbers. But today you have found some help!

The Top 3 Mistakes
Black Pastors Make

How I Learned These Strategies
And Why They Work So Well
Rev. Sheldon Nix, Ph.D., M.S.W.
President || Founding Pastor
Certified Business Coach
In 1973, at 17 years old, God spoke to me and called me to be a Pastor. With the image of my grandfather Rev. Andrew Nix, Sr. in my mind (I thought he had died in the pulpit and I didn't want that to happen to me), I said "No!" The bed I was lying on shook, and He said again, "I want you to be a Pastor." Again, I said "No!"
I thought, like Jonah, that I had gotten away with it. While on the "high seas" I...
Got my Masters in Social Work and learned how to deliver practical services to people;
Got my Ph.D in Counseling Psychology and learned how to understand people at a deep level and transform their whole way of thinking and responding;
Graduated from Coach University as a Life and Business Coach and learned how to change people's lives more quickly;
Built a $2 million a Year Nonprofit from scratch, learning how to do grant-writing and grow a large organization.
As with the Apostle Paul's background, God is using all that training and experience, but continued to insist that I plant a church and Pastor it for 10 years. So in 2004, He found me and spoke to me again while driving home from a movie. In tears, I realized I had to yield to His call. With my whole heart.
At His direction, I launched Life Worth Living Fellowship with Rev. John Finney and a team of believers. But I made a BIG mistake!
The church had its ups and downs in terms of attendance, so after I turned it over to Pastor Finney as planned, I knew there had to be a way to grow the church through social media.
I became an EMyth Certified Business Coach and also started learning from some of the best internet marketers out there, spending over $50,000 getting their closely-guarded secrets (money YOU won't have to spend!)
I figured that the same strategies they used to draw people into their expensive coaching and training programs would enable us pastors to draw people into our (free) life-changing programs and events.
And I was right! Together with two Pastor friends who served as my "test group," we discovered how to use those same strategies to draw Seekers to a church. The result is the system you now have the opportunity to use to grow your church.
Our Results Were Amazing:
(But Not Surprising...My Mentors Predicted It)
We used these strategies to bring 503 people into the "outer circle" of the marriage ministry of Love Kingdom Fellowship Church in just 5 weeks of marketing!
(I'll explain about the "circles" of your ministry during the training.)
Now It's Your Turn to Grow YOUR Church with These Strategies!
What You'll Get When You Sign Up Today
I Know From Experience How Terribly Busy Pastors Are. SO I'm Giving You Literally Everything You Need to Quickly Start Bringing Visitors to Your Ministry:
#1: TRAINING
Discover the Strategies That Make This Work
A Growing Video Training Library
In addition to the Roadmap that you download, in my 3-part foundations video training, I detail the exact strategy that is working today to grow even small churches using social media and the internet.
Plus a growing library of on-demand training on all aspects of church growth. Like using off-line marketing (e.g. postcards & flyers, partnerships with schools and nonprofits). Plus training on strategies like "Sermons That Attract the Unchurched" and "How to Make Your Church Stand Out in a Post-Christian World".
Live Training Webinars
Twice a month (at least) I host webinars that are open to all pastors are part of this community. These are designed to make sure you understand the strategy and answer any questions you may have.
#2: SERMONS
Sermon Series Designed to Attract the Unchurched
Launch a Sermon Series Designed Specifically to Attract the Unchurched
You Need "Two Tracks" For People to Come to You:
Track 1) The longer, slower track for non-Christians and "De-Churched Christians"
These are folks are not yet interested in a Sunday service BUT do want help. And "de-churched" Christians who used to go to church but stopped and are jaded or cautious but a good experience could cause them to reignite..
These folks will likely take their time, making a lot of "stops" on their way to you. They will want to look at your posts, watch some videos you put up, and over time be open to an invitation to a workshop.
Then maybe they'll go to your Women's Ministry event if the topic is interesting to them. And then maybe check out your Sunday service!
Our Outreach Workshops are designed for these people. More on those in a moment.
Track 2) The shorter track for unchurched Christians
who stopped going to church (maybe because of Covid or got bored by traditional church) but are very open if the topic interests them.
And the "almost there non-Christians". The Holy Spirit has them ready for an invitation. They don't need to make a lot of "stops" before they come check you out.
Our Seeker-Sensitive Sermon Series is for these people! Let's talk about those now.
Here's What You Get to Run Our Seeker-Sensitive Sermon Strategy
PREACHING & MID-Week TEACHING RESOURCES
Seeker-Sensitive Sermon Topics and Title Ideas: While God will lead you, of course, we find that many pastors aren't used to developing and titling sermons focused on the unchurched.
So for whatever workshop outreach program you select, we'll give you lots of in-depth ideas designed to help you understand what people are struggling with and how you can reach them with sermons designed for them (members will also be blessed, of course, because they have the same needs as the unchurched.)PowerPoint: If you use PowerPoints or other graphics when you preach (and most pastors do these days), we give you PowerPoint templates designed to match the workshop theme and colors. This helps get you better noticed because it takes time to cut through the noise and stand out as a pastor. Also use this PowerPoint template in your mid-week Bible study.
Sample Slides
Use these sermon slides to develop and deliver an engaging "Seeker-Sensitive Sermon Series" on the same topic as the workshop. These sermons are designed to draw people who don't go to church.
Grew by 50% In Weeks
With just one of our sermon series, Pastor Jacki grew her church by 50% in 3 weeks! She promoted it with our posts and ads that speak to people's needs and desires rather than using "churchy" language.
Unchurched People Joining
Current Members Loving It
Pastor Darryl Jones has seen BOTH new people joining the church and his current members loving the new visual sermons.
PROMOTION Resources
Use these tools to get people to your your Sunday service and mid-week study:
Facebook/Instagram Posts
Start using these to get interest in this sermon series. You get the graphics which you can edit so you can put your picture, your address and dates, etc. and suggested text you can copy and paste, then edit to suit your exact message! Then ask your members and other people to share them as well.
Postcard Templates For Sundays & Midweek Bible Studies
Another way to give people information about the sermon series. Edit the details on Canva. Then get your people to pass them out widely.
Note: We suggest you promote both your Sunday message on a topic and your mid-week in-depth teaching on that same topic.
Editable Flier Templates For Sundays & Midweek Bible Studies
Edit these fliers (also on Canva) and then get them printed and handed out

Training: I give you extra in-depth training on the Seeker-Sensitive Sermon Series approach based on my over 40 years as someone who has preached these kinds of sermons and taught those kinds of mid-week lessons (plus men's ministries), and taught Christian counseling and life change strategies to counselors and Pastors wanting to have more of an impact. You will find this training eye opening.

#3: OUTREACH WORKSHOPS
Done-For-You Workshops and Webinars
Choose One of Our Workshops to Attract the Unchurched Who Need to "Check You Out" First Before Coming to a Sunday Service!
(The workshop is on the same topic as the sermon series so people can choose which "path" they're comfortable with)
Here's 3 of Our Plug-and-Play Workshops Already Done For You:
Create Your Best Year Ever lets people who are not satisfied with their lives know that their life can be so much more fulfilling and gets them started on it.
The RISE program helps people overcome setbacks more quickly through a 6-Step "Come Back Fast Strategy". It promotes real connection.
The Winning Mindset program begins to help people learn the importance of shifting their mindset to 3 key mindsets: "I Can," "I Will," and "I Did"
TEACHING RESOURCES
Use these tools to deliver an engaging introductory presentation that wets their appetite for getting more of your teaching:
Workbook: The entire guide and worksheets are in one document. You will walk them through the guide using the PowerPoint, adding that "preaching/ministering" part as you go along introducing each section.
PowerPoint: The PowerPoint guides them through the handout. It doesn't add new content as you want to get them familiar with the main concepts that are in their workbook.
Remember this is only a 3-hour workshop (or sermon series) and just an "appetizer" for going further with you on their journey to their best self and a more fulfilling life.
It should leave them engaged, satisfied, but also unsatisfied, knowing they need more help!
One of our pastors recently did a 3-hour workshop on a Saturday and 25 non-members showed up because it didn't come across as a "religious" event.
And 4 of them were in service on Sunday.
That's how quickly this strategy can work!

PROMOTION Resources
Use these tools to get people to your workshop:
Facebook/Instagram Promotional Posts: Start using these to get interest in this topic. You get the graphics and suggested text so all you have to do is copy and paste, then edit the text to suit your style! Then ask your members and other people to share them as well.
Postcards: Front side attracts their attention and the back side gives them the basic details and then tries to get them to go to the Information and Registration Page. Edit these (on the free version of Canva) and then get them printed and handed out. They are the easiest off-line way to get your people to hand them out to their friends, family members, co-workers, or anyone else they think might be interested.
NOTE: You will find that your members are often more willing to share postcards to an event that is not specifically "religious". They don't feel as afraid of rejection but feel they are doing people a possible service. Go figure, but that's what laypeople often think, I have found.Fliers: Edit these (also on Canva) and then get them printed and handed out. They can be placed in barber shops, salons, nonprofit organizations, and other places (because you are not promoting something "religious" but a "community program".
Sample Registration Sales Page: If you do decide to set up a page for people to pre-register (which I recommend and which we obviously provide to the pastors in our full program), then here is excellent language for you to copy.
