Modest Growth What happened?
What is the age profile of staff/board? What do the 30-somethings like about SPCC? Why not an increase? Parents? Cultural Gap Pulling their weight? Cultural conservatives?
Reflection Questions • What is the envisioned way forward to reach more people at SPCC? • Are there age-segments with particular cultures? How do they affect the “vibe” of the church particularly new people? • How can the high level of training / competence be a kingdom resource? • Is ethnic diversity / age-profile / gender profile reflected in leadership? • How to increase percentage of newcomers while not targeting switchers? • Are the long-term attenders on board with current vision? • Why might Youth (15-18) and YA (19-25) be less satisfied with what is offered (despite high levels from church)? How does this gel with the decline in age profile for 20-29’ers? How are we going at reaching Aussie YA? How does this gel with culture generally? • How comfortable are we with who we are and are becoming?
