7 Reasons Why Church Announcements Do Not Work

Listen Later

Mark Clifton, Dan Hurst, and Kyle Bueermann discuss some reasons that church announcements don’t usually lead to church member involvement.

  1. Folks aren’t listening to your announcements (or reading your emails…or newsletters).
  2. Announcements seldom include the “why” with the “what.”
  3. Listeners hear a corporate announcement (if they hear it at all) for everyone else – not for themselves.
  4. Some church members carry baggage that makes it difficult for them to hear a call for workers.
  5. The wrong people make the announcements.
  6. Announcements put the responsibility on the respondent rather than on the recruiter.
  7. The church is making announcements, but not one’s praying for the Lord to raise up the laborers.
