Church is a tag-team sport

We have a motto at National Community Church: church is a tag-team sport. When an NCCer walks into church they tag me and say "go for it." They trust that I'm prayed up and studied up and I'm going to preach the best message I can. And they trust that our creative team has put their creative energy into all the service elements. Then when they walk out I tag them and say "go for it." And they invite people in their network of relationships to NCC.

One of the ways we turn attenders into inviters is by putting invite cards into their hands periodically. It's one way we say "you're it."

Here is a generic card we just designed. We'll die cut the four corners so it approximates an authentic ticket. And the back side will have information on our four locations.

Mark - I think that is a great image of what happens before and after a particular worship experience. I also think that the tag-team concept can be applied to generations of the church and leaders. There reaches a point in the life of an individual or a community where the next in line will be tagged to carry forward the good news of Jesus Christ.

Great concept I'm gonna steal...just to let you know...

I would love to see the back side...these would be great to implement in our church. We are just getting started (6th week coming Sunday) and I want to have something like this in our culture from the beginning.
