Pastor Nieuwhof has pin pointed some reasons why the church may be finding it hard to retain new members. Here they are:
- First off, Nieuwhof observed that some churches could do better in terms of welcoming their worshipers, particularly those who are new.
He notes that team members failing to make a good impression right away could lead to worshiper not getting the most out of the experience.
- One other tip provided by Nieuwhof is related to connecting with younger people who might no longer be going to church regularly.
According to Nieuwhof, "A lot of churches miss the '75% rule' — having 75% of people on the platform in the same age range (or below) as the people you are trying to reach."
The pastor points out that it will be easier for people from that demographic to feel that the church is "a normal place" for them if they see others around their age there.
- Nieuwhof also observed that some churches have difficulty when it comes to conveying the message they want.
- Some issues highlighted by Nieuwhof include sermons being too long which leads to the attendees becoming disinterested and then there are times when the essence of the message is not communicated well, making it harder to understand its true value.
Encouraging and enticing more people to attend church is an important task for churches these days, and while it won't be easy, there are still things they can do to get things going in the right direction.
