WHAT DO WE DO NOW THAT WE HAVE THEM?
Top 6 Things that Keep the Formerly Unchurched Active in the Church
(research conducted by Ranier)
1. 62% - Ministry Involvement
2. 55% - Sunday School
3. 54% - Obedience to God
4. 49% - Fellowship of Members
5. 38% - Pastor/Preaching
6. 14% - Worship Services
Adrenaline, zeal, excitement are important parts of church involvement. We all know that if anything is going to last deeper issues apply. Things like involvement, ownership, obedience is key. I believe you must consistently have a mixture of both ends of the spectrum.
By viewing the last blogs survey and comparing it to this weeks survey we can come to some useful conclusions.
- Preaching/Teaching will always play a crucial role, however long term maturity through involvement should be the goal.
- Fellowship (friendship-community) plays a bigger part than most Church's think it does.
- Same thing goes for youth and children also.
I know that there has got to be stories out there on how or why you picked and chose Cowboy Junction Church. Now is the time to inspire and "Light a Fire". There could be someone at CJC who doubts if his/her volunteerism is needed. Brag on someone. Use their name. Give a little credit to someone used by God.
My hubby ROCKS!!!! Great words and very intresting information. CJC is so blessed to have you. Before I even really knew you, it was your preaching style that kept me coming back week after week. Now it's because I get to go home with you.

We started attending CJ because of friends who were attending, but we stayed because of the relationships, the messages and the overall genuiness of the church body. The people of CJ are our family, we would rather hang out with ya'll then anyone else. And it is so awesome to have a vision and have someone to believe in it and you. We have never experienced anything like this in our lives before.Thank you!!
