Easter: The Seeker Sensitive Superbowl?

Watch Rick Warren's protege, Kerry Mackey coach PDL network pastors on preparing for the crowds that will come on Easter Weekend...

"...You need to have a good Communication strategy...remember our target is the community, we are going to get 30-40% increase in attendance... "





See Mackey's admiration for Emergent Church leader Dan Kimball at his blog, Street to Seat. Get tips on how to make the best of the turnout such as:

  • leverage the response card to call persons to action
  • be clear about what you want them to do
  • challenge people to choose Jesus and the church
  • provide a New Believer kit and have it ready to distribute at Easter

"...simplify your program promotions during this time just give them the big bucket ministry items and their next steps (preschool, child, youth, adults)

  • how to choose Jesus,
  • how to get baptized ,
  • how to choose the church (101-membership class) ,
  • how to get connected to a small group
  • how to begin serving others
  • how to tell their story

  1. I'm betting he didn't have to remind people how many weeks out the Superbowl was...

  2. "some of the greatest baptisms I've participated in were..."

    Hey -- what makes one dunking 'greater' than the rest? I wonder if he has a scripture reference for that?

  3. You guys are idiots, it is just practical advice from an administrative level - not theological training.
