The habits of Intentionality, Cultural Awareness, High Expectations, and Clear Doctrine (as well as others identified in the presentation) are all still critical to engaging and keeping unchurched people in our congregations. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">We hope this presentation will be a blessing to you and we encourage you to feel free to use it for yourself or to share in a class.
