As we hiked, bouldered and climbed, I had 5 powerful things illustrated to me as a Connector in a local church. Scroll down this photo journal to see what I learned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551d997ee4b0277cf3856ee6/1559339111827-CY7TNWU7MRELK993HFG9/IMG_5721.JPG Climbing the Assimalayas Blog - 5 practical things I learned on a hike help me connect people better at church 1. Adjust your expectations of people. Arriving at a new destination on a hike or in life takes effort. This was an almost 3 mile round trip hike through beautiful forest and waterfalls, ascending and descending almost 900 feet in elevation. Not impossible by any means, but not a walk in the park either. I often say that connecting at your church and mine is not a coast….it’s a climb! Recalibrating our expectations for guests in terms of their readiness to connect and the challenges they face in becoming a real part of a spiritual family would do us well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551d997ee4b0277cf3856ee6/1559339006886-AHW5WBP0MIO0QBJBUKNT/IMG_9358.JPG Climbing the Assimalayas Blog - 5 practical things I learned on a hike help me connect people better at church 2. Pace the journey. We have not trained for this in any way so at this altitude, we had to stop and rest to pace ourselves to actually reach our goal instead of turning back in exhaustion. New people at our church cannot connect to a new group of friends or a ministry role by just attending one event. Our assimilation events are not gondola rides to the top: they are a leg in the journey. Give them multiple opportunities to pace each part of the process of connecting for them so they will actually reach the summit at your church and not give up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551d997ee4b0277cf3856ee6/1559338875833-4AJGYH1IJ4IXBB3U8QNJ/IMG_1525.jpg Climbing the Assimalayas Blog - 5 practical things I learned on a hike help me connect people better at church 3. Crowds make the journey less enjoyable. Recently, 200+ people arrived at the summit of Everest….at the same time! It made for an impossible situation up there, after a colossal effort by everyone to reach the top. Can you imagine planning for what happened in this photo? When Carly and I went on this hike, we encountered only 2 small groups of people and one dog in 3 hours of hiking. We were alone together most of the time, enjoying having nature to ourselves. Breaking down your connection classes into table groups instead of rows really makes the difference between a more connectable experience and a less enjoyable one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551d997ee4b0277cf3856ee6/1559338693069-VKBVTDVN8OVULHV65BDI/IMG_6775.JPG Climbing the Assimalayas Blog - 5 practical things I learned on a hike help me connect people better at church 4. Detours happen. Plan for it. We decided to boulder up a waterfall instead of take the trail. It was a blast but I had to use my GPS, walk over a long fallen tree trunk to cross a stream and maneuver through unfamiliar territory to get back on the trail afterward. This photo reveals some almost stairway like stones that led out of a stream to get us around a rock fall. Sometimes our guests will have some life happen and not return your contacts to get them trained for a new role. Sometimes they won’t finish your on-boarding sessions and opt to finish at a later date. Plan for it and know what you will do to leverage that rather than just let them go into the sunset unconnected. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551d997ee4b0277cf3856ee6/1559335805083-N8X6PZEBCU333PECXO7H/IMG_1523.JPG Climbing the Assimalayas Blog - 5 practical things I learned on a hike help me connect people better at church 5. You need a guide to help you. Unfortunately, I forgot my hiking boots and ended up in some tennis shoes that had little grip. When we arrived at Castle Rock, I could only get up part of the way safely leaving Carly to finish alone. She kept trying for 30 minutes or so but had trouble finding the best route alone. Out of nowhere came two guys who were like mountain goats hopping up the Rock. They offered to slow down to include her in their ascent. When she arrived at the top, it was glorious! Do you have table hosts, Greeters, and people in your office who will function as personalized guides to walk people through their connection journey? This is needed and the results will be awesome! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551d997ee4b0277cf3856ee6/1559339972124-J8IVUHBC6GZXWW4W38WC/Cliff+Mojo.png Climbing the Assimalayas Blog - 5 practical things I learned on a hike help me connect people better at church 1. Which one of these 5 lessons is the most important one for your church right now? Which one is most important for your team? Which one is most important for you? 2. What is an expectation that you or your church have towards guests that is proving to be unrealistic? 3. What are some ways to pace the journey of connection? At what junctures do you find the biggest need for some space to process or a break to catch their breath? 4. Brainstorm some of the possible detours that guests take in their journey to connect at your church. After listing them, determine a planned response or way of leveraging that detour to help them continue their journey toward connecting in a small group or a ministry team. 5. How can you make your connection experience smaller and less crowded for those making the climb? 6. Where is the most strategic and helpful place you can place a Sherpa Guide to insure guest make a full connection at your church? https://assimilayas.com/blog/2019/6/17/how-a-type-9-on-the-enneagram-experiences-your-church-and-how-to-connect-them-e8zjw-xdk3k-rwgy3-9dblt-86er3-7dty7 monthly 0.5 2023-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551d997ee4b0277cf3856ee6/1565136885055-LEOEX5848CYV6JZ0NGRQ/Kendra+Big+Bear.png Climbing the Assimalayas Blog - How a Type 9 on the Enneagram experiences your church and how to connect them Kendra at one of her favorite places to be: Big Bear Lake California. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551d997ee4b0277cf3856ee6/1565191614648-WLL8WETVNIVSH4MOFK9L/Kendra+and+I+at+Bluff+like.png Climbing the Assimalayas Blog - How a Type 9 on the Enneagram experiences your church and how to connect them Kendra and I (She’s the one hiding behind her cup of coffee) on top of a rock we climbed up at Bluff Lake Reserve.

Unlocking Your Capacity to Change the World (Copy) The Secret Power of Kindness: 10 Keys to Unlocking Your Capacity to Change the World The old axiom is true: people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. We find ourselves in a cultural moment where people simply want to feel seen, heard, and loved. The good news? A little kindness goes a long way. It's time for this overlooked and underappreciated fruit of the Spirit to get its due. Ready or not, be kind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551d997ee4b0277cf3856ee6/1520403778658-Y3CYKL9EJRE9TQRM3DIN/Church+Flywheel.jpg Top Books to Read - Church Growth Flywheel (Copy) Church Growth Flywheel "Church Growth Flywheel : 5 Practical Systems To Drive Growth at Your Church" is the best instruction book I currently know of to help your church reach more people starting today. If I was starting a church tomorrow, I would use this book to build into it the 5 systems he advocates, from the beginning so that assimilating guests would be a given. Between its covers, my friend Rich Birch, has pulled together his own hard-fought experience leading within one of the fastest growing churches in the country as well as over 200 interviews with church leaders from prevailing churches. I was privileged to be one of them. Click on the book to purchase now.

What if your team knew how to create an experience that would delight guests? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for those God is drawing to your church? This book delves into some fascinating mysteries of experience: Why we tend to remember the best or worst moment of an experience, as well as the last moment, and forget the rest. Why “we feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they’re not.” Discover how brief experiences can change lives, such as the experiment in which two strangers meet in a room, and forty-five minutes later, they leave as best friends. What happens in that time? This book is even changing how we onboard staff at my church.

On one extreme, a zeal to welcome guests inadvertently can make people the center of the universe. At the other, hospitality and a friendly welcome is effectively ignored in deference to the "serious business" of worship. People Are the Mission proposes a healthy middle between these two extremes, one where guests are esteemed but the gospel is the goal. My friend Danny Franks, Pastor of Guest Services at The Summit Church, shows churches how to build: ministries that are guest-friendly from the outset and gospel-centric to their core. Danny shows not only how to effectively bring people in and convince them to stay, but also why our hospitality to honor the stranger is one of the best ways to represent Jesus.
