Attract or Multiply? A Staff Discussion Guide

1. What stood out to you most from the conversation?
2. Where did you see our church in what Drew, Matt, and Chris described?

Matt described attract and multiply as a dial, not a choice. Every church does both, but most lean one way.

1. On a scale of 1 (all attract) to 10 (all multiply), where would you put our church today? Where would you like us to be in three years?
2. How much of what our people do here is consumptive (receiving) versus contributive (giving value to others)?
3. Since 2020, what has shifted in how we think about growth?

Attract: Do people know you exist? Get: Can you get someone to show up once? Keep: Are you keeping them? Grow: Are they growing? Multiply: Are people living out the mission?

1. Pick three of our current ministries. What job did we hire each one to do? Is it doing that job?
2. Fill out the Church Engagement Framework worksheet together. Where are the empty boxes?
3. Is there a ministry we keep running because of the person who started it rather than the job it does?
4. Which of the five jobs is our strongest? Which is our weakest?

1. Who in our pews cares about the church but has no role? Name a few people.
2. Who in our church would say no to leading a life group but yes to coaching a team?
3. Are we recruiting people to chores or unlocking their passion? What would change if we led with passion?
4. Walk through the three skills from the conversation. Where are we strong and where are we weak?
   • Set the play: Do our volunteers know what a win looks like beyond the scoreboard?
   • Coach in the moment: Do we give honest feedback without shaming?
   • Call them up: Who on our team is regularly shoulder tapping new leaders?
5. How many people on our staff are developing someone who isn't paid?

1. What is one thing we will do in the next 30 days?
2. Who owns it, and when will we talk about it again?
3. Who in our pews is waiting for a place to lead?
