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!

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 training and experience in various specialties:
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 12 years.
Pastor John "Jay" Finney
Co-Founder/Pastor, Life Worth Living Church
Life Coach || CEO || Licensed Financial Coach
So in 2004, God "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.
What We Did Right: Creative Ministry!
Creative Visual Sermons
Pastor Finney and I believed in the power of expository sermons teaching the Word in depth but in a way that relates to real life struggles, so we were known across our city for our raw, real, and creative sermon series.
Creative Videos to Introduce the Sermons
We also felt that it was important to engage a new generation with creative videos that helped introduce the sermons in relatable ways. So with the help of an ABC News producer who was a member of our church, we filmed many movie shorts (long before YouTube or TikTok!)
Workshops and Programs In the Community
We also conducted many workshops to hundreds of people in our community, including in schools, community centers, and at our church. This brought us into contact with lots of people.
What We Did Wrong
With the benefit of what we know now 😐 we did several things wrong. The three biggest mistakes we made that you are probably also making are:
1. We Did Not Have an Ongoing Attraction System
If you watched our creative services on local television where we broadcast them -- and thousands and thousands of people in our city did -- back then you were probably already Christian and just liked our messages. One stranger told me "I love your preaching because you preach on things my pastor doesn't."
I'm glad I blessed her and many thousands of others but I realize now that you have to have an ONGOING system to attract the unchurched, and you have to attract them where they are. Television, prayer walks, street outreach, even workshops alone were not enough.
2. We Did Not Speak Clearly Enough to the Mindset of the Unchurched
As creative as our sermons were, they did not go deep enough into the psychology and false beliefs of non-believers and the unchurched. They did not tear down the specific strongholds of the mind and take captive every thought to the obedience of Christ that are keeping them away from the Lord and our church. They did not speak the language of the unchurched and unsaved, so they ignored it!
3. We Did Not Build Deep, Ongoing Relationships with the Unchurched
We did plenty of workshops plus men's and women's ministry events, but those were events. We did not set up a program that would keep us engaged with unbelievers and unchurched folks.

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
PowerPoint: We give you compelling PowerPoint slides for when you preach these messages (because this is a visual age). 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
These sermons
Exposit a Biblical Story: These expository (almost verse-by-verse) messages--with the slides--make the Bible come alive for people.
Show How God Changes Lives: These messages help people see HOW God can change their life the way He changed the life of the Biblical character. "Show and Tell".
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

Use these resources to deliver an engaging "Seeker-Sensitive Sermon Series" on a topic designed specifically to speak to the unchurched. These sermons are designed to draw people who don't go to church.
PowerPoint Slides: We give you compelling PowerPoint slides for when you preach these messages). This helps get you better noticed because this is a visual age and people scrolling through their feed will be more likely to pause and see what you're doing. Plus you will stand out as a pastor.

#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 Unshakeable Confidence workshop begins to help people learn the importance of shifting their mindset to from "I Can't" to "I Can". It is professional and powerful.
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 (although NOT always that fast)!

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.
