Your small church wants to reach new families. You’re planning events, finding volunteers, inviting people, and trying hard, but sometimes the families you’re hoping to reach still aren’t coming. 

In this episode, we’re looking underneath the outreach ideas to question some of our assumptions about today’s families, what “successful” outreach actually means, and whether trying harder is really the answer.

In this episode:

➡️ Why it matters that we want to reach new families

➡️ The assumptions we may be making about what today’s families actually want and need

➡️ Why a successful event doesn’t necessarily lead to connection with your church

➡️ The difference between creating a transaction and building a relationship

➡️ Why your small church probably doesn’t need to try harder, but may need to start somewhere different
