“We have to get them in here to minister to them.” Ever heard that line?
I’ve heard it, and I’ve heard it regarding a lot of other groups that tend to be disruptive to the congregation.
Our church’s policy is that “outreach” happens outside of “church time”. Church time is for the believers and their families. It is the time when the pastoral staff ministers to the congregation, and then charges the congregation to go OUT and perform the Great Commission.
