5.0 out of 5 stars HUGE Value - Practical Coaching On the Hardest Skill For Churches
This books is worth reading and re-reading. Rich Birch distills a masterclass on how to encourage your congregation to invite newcomers to church. This is the single hardest skill for churches to learn so it’s a HUGE VALUE to have the most practical and actionable tips boiled down for a quick and an accessible read. The concepts are as to understand but willl take discipline and time to implement. I am a pastor of a church and used Rich’s first book - the Church Growth Flywheel with my staff team. We have been working through its content for several years now and have seen an impact in the way it has changed our mindset and approach to guests. In this new book, Rich doubles down on the practice of inviting itself from the congregation’s standpoint. He helpfully reviews change theory, and reminds us that it’s not about coaching the early adapters (who may already be inviting friends to church) but how to mobilize the middle majority of the church to invite too? This sheds light on WHY it’s so important to make inviting as easy and natural as possible. Rich gives five big categories to work on, but within each category there are bullet point lists of very practical tips on “inching forward” or making marginal gains. This is really important to me because so often it’s a little thing in ministry that can get you unstuck on a big sea change. One example of this was in highlighting the power of congregational surveys when considering programming options to gather feedback- don’t ask folks what THEY prefer, instead ask what they’d more likely INVITE A NEIGHBOR to attend. This is a very sharp, very practical insight that can be implemented quickly. The most important - and powerful - philosophical observation Rich offers comes from his recent analysis of churches in the UK. Overseas, the churches are are no longer in “post Christian” culture, they are now in “pre-Christian” culture. This means that in the UK folks no longer have a sense of what church even is. So it makes the process of invitation much longer and harder because you have to build up to folks being comfortable with it. In contrast, Rich suggests that - for a brief window - North America is still in a “post Christian” context. Folks have an idea of what church is and they are generally pleased to be invited - even if it takes many “asks” until they attend. We have the opportunity to invite people “back to church” - and rich lets us know that we should treasure this opportunity becuase the window of openness could close within a generation. Another strength of this book is the insights it offers on how trends and best practices have shifted following the pandemic. This is particularly apparent in the discussion of online church and social media. Here again there are many very practical and actionable suggestions to challenge our churches with. The books is particularly great in kindle form because there are many links to additional resources and Easter eggs like sample forms and lists though I will also be buying some physical copies to give to staff and friends as gifts. My only criticism is I wish I were longer! But Rich has labored hard clearly to make this a short but jam-packed (calorie dense) read perfect for reading as a staff or small group. And of course if you want more you can always listen to the hundreds of hours of interviews with great church leaders on his Unseminary podcast. Thanks for the great read!
