CREATIVE OUTREACH
Using multimedia, worship, creativity and innovation to engage unbelievers through your church.
Designing Worship Gatherings for Post Seeker Generations
Pastor, Vintage Faith Church
Although the “seeker” outreach service has been extremely effective in reaching Baby Boomers, emerging generations are not resonating with them in the same way. In fact, many of the very things we removed from seeker worship gatherings are the very things emerging generations are desiring and connecting with. We will explore what forms of emerging worship post-Christian generations are being drawn to and how to take steps in implementing a multi-sensory approach to worship.
You will learn:
- Specific examples and approaches to worship that emerging generations are not connecting with in contemporary seeker-services
- From specific examples of worship which emerging generations are connecting with
- Tangible steps to begin moving towards a multi-sensory approach to worship
