Turning Attenders into Inviters
One of our primary goals at NCC is turning attenders into inviters.
I went into church planting with a driving desire: help create a church that people felt comfortable and confident inviting their unchurched friends to! And I think we're getting there. Last year, 80% of NCCers invited 5+ friends. I honestly feel like people who aren't inviting friends aren't using NCC the way it was designed to be used.
We're always trying to remind NCCers that church is a tag-team sport.When an NCCer walks into church they tag our worship team, creative team, and teaching team and say "go for it." And we do our level best to create an experience every weekend where people can connect with God and grow in faith. When NCCers walk out, we tag them and say "now you go for it." They have a unique network of friends they can invite to church! Then they come back and tag us and say "go for it."
One of the things we use to remind NCCers that church is a tag-team sport is invite cards. We try to produce them for most of our series. Here is the front of the invite card for series that kicks off next weekend, God at the Movies.

Mark - love your blog...it's really helpful. I'd love some help on this...we've seen a spike in people inviting which, which is awesome. My struggle is how to measure it and it sounds like you at elast of some way of know 80% are invting 5+ people. How do you get a sense of that...formally? informally? survey a sampling? everyone? something else? Would just love us to be able to really measure it.

Greg,
We do an annual survey and specifically ask that question.
