  • Latest Research on Receptivity to Christians

    Lifeway Research has released the results of their latest studies on the receptivity of people to invitations to come to church.

    The charts below illustrate the relative receptivity of people to receive information about the church.

    Interestingly internet communications did not rate well!

    Small churches who feel disadvantaged in terms of finances can still exploit the form of communication with the best results – personal invitations!

    The second chart illustrates how “timing” affects receptivity.

    The research was conducted in advance of a national evangelistic emphasis for Southern Baptists. More can be read here at Ed Stetzer’s blog.
