Help!  Do You Know of Any Large Churches Who’ve Recently Added Saturday Night Services?

Orginally published on Thursday, February 22, 2007 at 1:01 PM

I've been asked by my friend and fellow Leadership Network colleague to pass on this question. We're looking for any large churches that used to hold Sunday only services that have recently added a Saturday night service. There is a church of a couple thousand who is hoping to make the leap, and would like to talk with similar churches who have already done so. Are there any churches in your area who fit into this category? If so, could you please help?

And, one more thing; while we’re on the topic of “Saturday Night” services… Does your church (or are there churches in your area who) have a Saturday night service?  How well are they attended?  Are they strong or week in your community?

Please take a couple moments to share your leads and experiences.

Warren thanks you.  I think you… the whole world thanks you (well, at least a few of us in the world appreciate it!) smile

Thanks,

Todd

    I know that the Vine Community Church in Carbondale, IL has had a Saturday Night Service for a couple years now and they do it quite well.  It’s a healthy church that is making a real impact in their community!

    My church is considering adding a seeker friendly service. Anyone have a great name for a seeker friendly service?

    How about the name of a church called Changepoint.  http://www.changepointalaska.com (?)

    (Visit their website and talk to Dave Bacher, he does their “Starting Point” (the place that people start out at) class and deals with the whole “seeker” related topic)

    Use it for your next seeker friendly service.  If we can be truly honest everyone needs to change, no matter our spiritual condition.  The word change and seeker kind of conflict with each other but it invokes a non threathening conversation between church members and those who are seeking. 

    It’s the easiest conversation to have ... by asking each other “If there is one thing you could change with your life what would it be?” And you can make up dozens of “change-like” conversations that get you to a place of inviting someone to church.  Any conversation that starts to peel back the layers we have in our life is a good thing, again no matter the spiritual condition.

    That only gets them in the door and then you have to have the conversation “about how to keep them from leaving” and I will leave that up to you and the people you counsel with.

    The church I attend had Saturday “services” for a while.  I participated with the “roadies” or whatever term you might have for your PA & lighting folk.

    Please make sure that you have enough people to handle the load without wearing them out from tending to both Saturday and Sunday services.  It might be helpful to have multiple crews to serve on a rotation basis.

    It helps for the tech teams to communicate and coordinate their efforts, too, so you don’t wind up with surprises on Sunday with system changes made on Saturday that were not “reset”.

    From one of the folk in the “crow’s nest”, that’s my $0.02 worth.

    Grace Bible Church in College Station, TX.  We just added a Saturday night service in October 2007.

    I am a member of Christ Community Church in a large non-denominational church in Camp Hill, PA.  We have added the Saturday night service last year and find that it has been successful in attendance and sincerity.

    Glad Tidings Church in Reading, PA (2,000+) has a 6:00 PM Saturday night service in addition to 3 Sunday morning services.

    I serve as the Saturday Night Campus Pastor and preach the same message theme as our senior pastor. We have a full children’s program, youth ministry and worship team.

    Saturday Night @ 6 is a great opportunity to develop new leadership and allows an option to those who work or have kids in sports.

    The best thing about Saturday Night @ 6 is that lives are being changed!

    Up until a year ago, I was on staff at a rather large church in the Houston Metro Area.
    We had already maxed out our newly built auditorium on 2 services on Sunday and the pastor decided he wanted to do a Saturday night service instead of another Sunday service.
    It worked well for a few weeks until the new wore off and then the attendance continued to decline.
    It went from around 700 the first week down to about 120 on the 5th or 6th week.
    We scrapped the idea after 3 months.

    Hope that helps.
