51 Analysis n Research has shown that growth in Adventist churches comes from: n Community involvement n Rich spirituality n Intentionality (goals, planning) n A positive atmosphere in congregation n Activities for the unchurched on Sabbath
52 The Adventist Paradigm for Outreach & Evangelism n Christ s method alone will give true success in reaching people. He mingled with men as one who desired their good, showed sympathy for them and ministered to their needs. He won their confidence. Then, He bade them, Follow Me. Ellen White, MH 143
53 Recommendations n Consider using the Heartbeat screening program and a stress seminar as entering wedges; these are the Adventist outreach programs most related to the needs in the community. n Use the Family Seminar approach to evangelism instead of the Revelation Seminar.
54 Recommendations n The new congregation needs to have strong family outings and social activities and a strong youth program (perhaps a Pathfinder Club or the new Ambassador Club). n Direct mail will be the most productive type of advertising for outreach events.
55 Recommendations n There is a strong attitude in this community that if the new church does not have a substantial nonreligious community service program, it is not really Christian.
