From day one our goal has been to create a church where NCCers felt confident inviting their unchurched friends.

We view church as a tag team sport.

When an NCCer walks into church they tag me and say “go for it.” And I preach a message that I’ve poured my heart into. I try to give it everything I’ve got every time I preach.

When NCCers walk out of church I tag them and say “go for it.” I read a study a few years ago that found that the average person has 68 people in their circle of influence. Those are people I don’t have any social capital with or access to. We’re each responsible for our own circle of influence–neighbors, colleagues, friends, acquaintances.

Anywho.

One way that we tag NCCers is by giving them invite cards. We do the creative work of branding a series. Then we tag everybody in our congregation and say “You’re it.”

Here is the invite card we designed for our new series titled Neos.
