Five Trends That Will Disrupt the Church in 2019
What will be the big disruptors in the church during 2019? Carey Nieuwhof gives his thoughts...
- Charismatic expressions of church will grow while attractions churches will continue to stall out.
What seems to link most growing churches these days is a more charismatic or expressive style to how they worship, teach and gather. - Online church will evolve to become a front door and side door, not a back door.
Church online will become a front door for the curious, the skeptic and the interested. It will be the first stop for almost everyone, and a temporary resting place for people who are a little too afraid to jump in until they muster the courage to jump in through physical attendance. It’s also a side door to Christians who travel or who can’t be there on a given Sunday. In that respect, it boosts engagement because it keeps people connected. - Churches and organizations will begin staffing online like it was a real thing.
The internet is the venue in which the entire community you are trying to reach lives. If you want to reach them there, spending 1% of your resources on it is likely not the smartest strategy.
