RELEVANT reveals the common thread among growing churches: they know what they are, what they believe, and what they're asking people to join.
On May 7, RELEVANT published a piece noting that churches growing right now tend to share a common seriousness — they know what they are, what they believe, and what they are asking people to join.
3 Takeaways
- Churches growing today share a clearer sense of identity and seriousness.
- Hospitality and clarity are not enemies.
- Vagueness is not the best strategy for reaching a confused age.
Bottom line: The churches actually growing in America may differ in style, but they share one hard-to-fake quality: they mean something, and people can feel it.
