Greg Hawkins - notes
Top 5 discoveries as the survey expanded to other congregations (much of this is highlighted in the book Follow Me).
1. Reading and reflecting on scripture is the most powerful catalyst for personal spiritual growth.
2. Developing core Christian beliefs is crucial for those in the early stages.
3. Personal spiritual practices are the building blocks for spiritual growth.
4. Serving is the most catalytic experience offered by churches. Especially serving those in need, outside the church, on your own. There is a continuum from church offered experiences to serving on one’s own.
5. Spiritual community is vital, but it migrates from organized to organic.
What did people want from the church? Top 5
1. Help me understand the bible in greater depth.
2. Help me develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
3. Provide strong programs for children.
4. Challenge me to grow and take next steps.
5. Provide compelling worship services.
