Start Attracting a Steady Stream of People to Your Ministry in the Next 30 Days
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!
Let's discuss what's holding you back...
Let's discuss what's holding you back...
Most Black pastors don't have a SYSTEM for bringing new people into your "outer circle," the people getting to know you and considering whether to join your church.
Occasional outreach is not going to grow your church.
Great preaching alone is not going to grow your church anymore.

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 10 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.
The System We Give You Fixes All These Mistakes - and More!
God Led Me to the Right Mentors
After I turned Life Worth Living Fellowship 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 God led me to some of the best internet marketers out there. I spent 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" crowd of of Love Kingdom Fellowship Church in just 5 weeks of marketing!
Now It's Your Turn to Grow YOUR Church with These Strategies!

#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
One of Our Best Sermon Topics For The Unchurched
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:
If you use PowerPoints or other graphics when you preach (and most pastors do these days), we give you PowerPoint slides that powerfully and visually convey both the scriptures (remember these are verse-by-verse expository sermons on a Biblical story) AND powerful applications to what is really going on in the minds and hearts of unchurched and unsaved people. The series are usually 6 weeks long, which 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:
Creative Facebook/Instagram Posts, Postcards, and Fliers
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.
#2: SERMON SERIES
A Sermon Series That Attracts the Unchurched
Launch a Sermon Series Designed Specifically to Attract the Unchurched
You Need "Two Tracks" For People to Arrive at a Sunday Service:

Our Seeker-Sensitive Sermon Series is for these people. Let's talk about those now.
Preach On One of Our Best Topics For the Unchurched
We Have a Growing Library of Sermon Series, and This Topic of "Self-Confidence" and "Mindset" Is One That Attracts the Most Unchurched People.
We have several series addressing this area of mindset, because so many unchurched people and unbelievers are struggling with it today. Unshakeable Confidence is our latest and is being released over the next few weeks. The first 3 sermons (out of a total of 6) are available for you to preach now.
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: If you use PowerPoints or other graphics when you preach (and most pastors do these days), we give you PowerPoint slides that powerfully and visually convey both the scriptures (remember these are verse-by-verse expository sermons on a Biblical story) AND powerful applications to what is really going on in the minds and hearts of unchurched and unsaved people.

Also use this PowerPoint template in your mid-week Bible study.
Facebook/Instagram Promotional 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.
Postcards: 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.
Fliers: Edit these (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.
These Sermons Are Powerful and Will Quickly "Upgrade" the "Look" of Your Preaching When You Stream Your Service
50% Growth with the Rise Series
With just one of our Seeker-Sensitive 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.

Get People to the Workshop With Our Professional Webpage...
Get People to the Workshop With Our Done-For-You Webpage and Social Media Posts
One big problem pastors have is that we know how to talk to believers about coming to an event, but we aren't so good at persuading non-believers to come. The webpage and social media posts change that.
Non-Churchy Language: It speaks directly to the self-confidence struggles everyone faces in "non-churchy" language.
Persuasion: It is professionally written to explain clearly to people why they want to come to this workshop or webinar. It is more than information. It is motivation!
...And Our Creative Social Media Posts!
These are designed to spark interest in the topic and to get people to start seeing you not just as a pastor who only talk about your church events and God but also gives people something to think about.
BONUS TRAINING:
How to Use Workshops to Attract Unchurched People to Your Church
Pastors are used to teaching believers. But if you want to move unchurched people to get more involved with you, in this recorded webinar I did for our pastors recently, I show you the psychology and strategy behind how our workshops draw people closer to you.
During this 2-hour recording of a live training I did with pastors, you will learn:
The 5 Stages of how a person joins your church and why you have to make sure you speak not just to Christians but to people at various stages of their journey.
The 3 beliefs you MUST target for a workshop to move people towards your church.
Our State-Of-The-Art Strategy Makes It Easy!
Pastor, the old ways of growing our churches don't work as well as they used to. It's time to add new strategies to your toolbox designed specifically to reach 21st century unsaved and unchurched millennials.
One of our pastors recently did a 3-hour grief 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!

OPTIONAL: STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD TRAINING & RESOURCES
Get People to See You As the Answer They've Been Looking For -- and Not Just an Old, Traditional Church!
Here's a BIG problem getting people to your church: They think you're just another "church," and they have written off church, "religion," and pastors. This training will help you change that so when you do invite them to a sermon series or workshop, they quickly begin to realize you are not what they assumed and that you are, in fact, the answer they've been looking for.
TRAINING #1:
Standout Positioning Challenge and Toolkit
Includes Our Proprietary ChatGPT Standout Positioning Generator to Help You Create a Powerful Positioning Statement Quickly!
You may be uncomfortable thinking you have "competition" but you do. Not just the many other churches that unchurched people see in your community. But all the other "offers" they have to change their lives, from training programs and coaching programs to YouTube videos and atheism. In our "post-Christian culture" people are confused about what to believe and who can help them.
This will be a LIVE 2-session training happening in May. Recordings will then be available.
What you will learn:
Why you NEED to stand out so unchurched people understand that you are different from what they think of as "church" (which they've already written off).
What "Positioning" is for a church. Hint: It has to do with making sure they think you are what you want them to know about you, not what they assume.
Create a compelling message that speaks to the unchurched and unbelievers so they want your help. Use on your website, church bulletin, social media, etc..
TRAINING #2:
Church Website Makeover Challenge
Includes Our Proprietary ChatGPT Website Message Generator to Help You Create Powerful Messaging For Your Key Webpages Quickly!
Once you have your standout compelling message to unchurched people, your website needs to convey that.
The problem we've run into is that we help pastors offer these cutting-edge, compelling sermon series and workshops, but then when people go to their websites, they look old and traditional! This workshop will help you fix that and upgrade the messaging on your website.
This will be a LIVE 2-session training happening in July. Recordings will then be available.
NOTE: We Are Not Doing the Actual Pages. Just Revamping What You SAY On Those Pages So Your Website Person Can Revise Them. No Website Person? We Can Help!
What you will learn:
The 4 critical functions your church website MUST perform to help you attract more people.
Build a Magnetic Homepage to wow your website visitors and get them interested in finding out more. While graphics are important, your message is even more important!
Revamp the other 5 critical pages to target specific groups of unchurched people with a message that gets them to realize "This is what I've been searching for."
