Top 13 reasons the unchurched choose a Church:
- 90% – Pastor/Preaching
- 88% – Doctrines
- 49% – Friendliness of Members
- 42% – Other Issues
- 41% – Someone at Church Witnessed to Me
- 38% – Family Member
- 37% – Sensed God’s Presence/Atmosphere of Church
- 25% – Relationship Other than Family Member
- 25% – Sunday School Class
- 25% – Children’s/Youth Ministry
- 12% – Other Groups/Ministries
- 11% – Worship Style/Music
- 7% – Location
So the next time your pastor tells you the worship style and music must change in order to reach the lost, feel free to tell him his preaching must change first. And since doctrine is second on the list, we might as well make sure the preaching changes are doctrinally correct. Apparently worship style and music are very low on the list. Something some of us have been arguing for a while now.
