David Foster, pastor of The Gathering, wrote a post today. These are things we strive for each week at Elevation.
If I were looking for a church to attend in the morning, here is what I’d look for:
- When I enter do I hear laughter?
- Are people greeting me as a job or a joy?
- Does the place look like they were expecting me?
- Are people buzzing as they greet each other?
- Is there spirited music playing as people gather?
- Does the music move me?
- Do the people on stage look real and engaged?
- Are the announcements short, strategic, and to the point?
- Is there a printed outline with Scripture already printed on it?
- Does the pastor smile?
- Does the message title promise a relevant topic I am interested in?
- Does the pastor speak with humility and authority?
- Do I feel the presence of God?
- Are people listening and engaged?
- Is the service no more than 71 minutes?
- Does it pass by fast?
