CFTROU 0173: Engagement–The Fuel that Drives Membership & Mission

In this episode, we dive into church engagement, and the culture, systems, and processes that drive it. Our guest hosts are Bev Bonner, Director of Connections and Groups, Jimmy Muir, Pastor of Family Church Sherbrooke, and Jose DaSilva, Pastor of Iglesia Familiar Greenacres. They discuss how Family Church builds culture using tools like common language and teams focused on greeting and hospitality. These teams receive training on how to build a warm and welcoming environment for our church members and guests. They also talk about the systems and processes that helps drive engagement. An example of this is the First Connection events that takes place on the first Sunday of each month at all Family Church locations. Tune in to listen to the people and strategies that foster active participation and meaningful connections at Family Church.
