This book is a church leader’s guide for connecting guests and closing the back door. You’ll discover how to intentionally serve people from their first visit, to becoming a flourishing member. You’ll learn how to build a culture of connection that purposefully expresses the value that Jesus places on all people. It’s this connection culture that has allowed Milestone Church to grow to thousands of active members, while maintaining its heart for the one, and a focus on the next one coming.
Three intentional sections cover the POWER, the PRINCIPLES, and the PROCESS of connection. The why, the what, and the how—why connection is so powerful, what you can do to be better at it, and how to build a process that creates a culture of connection. Great services and excellent service are imperative, but connection is the value people feel. Connection is more than an action, it’s an attribute.
This book will help you deliver on a desire to see people loved into a relationship with Jesus, grow spiritually, and find meaningful relationships in His Church.
In 2012 when our family walked into the doors as a first time guest at Milestone Church...we experienced every single thing that Pastor Steve teaches in this book about the power of connection. This isn't a book of great ideas Church leaders could do in their churches. This is a way of life that I have witnessed and I'm so honored to be a part of.
This is a book meant for church leaders...but honestly so much of the first part of the book is just how to connect better with others. For example..."Connection is not networking with others; it's serving others. Great connectors are genuinely looking to help someone else not themselves."
This is such a great book for anyone that wants to grow in loving and serving people better through the power of connection!
This book does an impeccable job of presenting an easy to follow guide for fostering connection in the church. This book motivated and challenged me both in my personal walk and as a leader.
