From: MondayMorningInsight.com: Willow announced some major changes in the way they are going to be doing church at the recent Shift Conference held on their campus last week. Chief among the many changes they are implementing (as a result of their recent REVEAL study) is pretty much the death of the seeker sensitive service format they pioneered years ago. According to Greg Hawkins, Willow's Executive Pastor, "Our strategy to reach seekers is now about focusing on the mature believers. This is a huge shift for Willow.” Also changing… beginning in June, Willow will end their mid-week worship service that had been geared toward believers.  Midweek will now offer discipleship classes aimed at different levels of growth for believers.  And on weekends, the ‘anonymity factor” will be gone.  According to Hawkins, “Anonymity is not the driving value for seeker services anymore.  We’ve taken anonymity and shot it in the head. It’s dead. Gone.” Willow’s weekend ‘seeker’ services will now be packed with worship music, scripture, and more challenging Bible teaching, led by Bill Hybels the majority of the weeks. In summary, Hawkins said, “They want the Bible, they want to be close to Christ, they want to be challenged. Yes, I will give them what they want!” More here at Christianity Today...
