02/10/25 BASIC STRUCTURE

Here is how it should work.

All Christians should be telling the good news to other people. We hope they will receive Christ as Savior.

All Christians should share the value of their church relationship with other people and invite them to come and see for themselves.
We hope they will want to be part of our saved, loving fellowship.

Pastor preaches and teaches the truth clearly, lovingly, unapologetically.
He calls folks to salvation, holiness of heart and life, establishing and building them up and sending them out to do the will and work of God.

He invites visitors to come back.
He offers to meet with them and their family, answering their questions about salvation, the Bible, and that local church.

The believer who "brought" the visitor should follow-up and take steps to encourage their friend to come out to other services, Bible classes, fellowships, and activities.

Everyone needs to be saved, and every new believer needs to be part of a strong, spiritual church family.

We each have our opportunities and responsibilities in leading other people into a meaningful Christian life.
