Attractional Ministry: an ongoing investigation

The Circus of Attractional Church

Evangelism – Missional, Attractional, or Confrontational?

I think that the danger is swinging toward Attractionalism and redefining evangelism efforts as “the courage to invite someone to a church service or event.”

If every Christian aligned with the redemptive mission of Jesus and sought to embody the message and mission of Jesus everywhere, maybe there would be less of an emphasis on trying to bring people to church to meet Jesus. They would have already met Jesus as Christ-followers declare and display the gospel.
