Series Title: Adapt and Thrive: Evangelism Strategies for 21st Century Ministry In the past, it was easy to take in new members because folks simply were used to coming to church. In an age of smartphones and internet churches, many unreached persons and many younger generations generally have different options on Sunday rather than attending church. We need new strategies. -- strategies that help us attract new folks without turning off current members. These two days of workshops help provide pastors and members with tools to help them do just that.

Friday evening workshop From Maintenance to Mission: Getting Ready To Reach Younger Generations Without Losing Older Members Many churches are stuck trying to reach out to potential new members and being of service to their communities. Part of the problem is that what worked to get your current members will not work with younger generations. This workshop will give you strategies on how to prepare your congregation to be ready to attract younger generations without alienating your current membership.
