Having formerly pastored an established church, I can relate to wanting to know what a visitor’s perspective on our worship services and programs is like. The church I was at was very small and didn’t have the human resources for a great production. It was very modest worship and then the Alan show for a sermon each week. I can hardly believe I did that any more…
The Church Marketing Sucks blog recently did a series on “Church from a Visitor’s Perspective.”
“Church is uncomfortable … Where else do you sing songs while staring at a trippy powerpoint with people you don’t know, eat a cracker, take a shot of juice, drop money into a crushed velvet bag and listen to one dude talk about events we weren’t at and worlds we can’t see… -Aaron Marshall on Church from a Visitor’s Perspective
Hey Alan,
I have been off-line for awhile and as I get back into things I read this post of yours. That’s so bizarre. I just dusted off a draft (like last night) I started when they first put the series out there. If you are interested it’s at http://bmblfrwrd.blogspot.com/2007/09/church-through-visitors-eyes.html
