I had the chance today to talk with Austin Porter who is launching Revive Church in February 2009 in Shelby, NC. He was nice enough to let me pick his brain for ideas.
I love the catch phrases they use to describe their church. These quotes are definitely buzz-worthy.
1. This church will rock your freakin face off!
2. Can't be explained, only experienced!
3. We're smokin' what we're preachin'!
4. Even Bob Barker can't neuter this beast!
There were a ton of great insights that he shared with me, but these are the ones that are stuck in my mind:
1. If you're going to hype up your big launch day, you better deliver. You must be able to meet the expectations you create in the events, publications, and promises made leading up to the launch.
2. Planning how you are going to follow up with all of the first time guests that come to your big launch service is as important as everything you do leading up to the launch. (This alone is worth the price of admission to all things Austin Porter)
3. A quote from Perry Noble: "everyone should attempt something so great that it's doomed to failure unless God is in it."
