Phone calling script used by church leaders to church attendees soon before or after pivoting to online church meetings. Enlist your board to help if they can.
If you have had online church services, check in recent weeks to see who has commented and like the video. That engagement affects how you approach them. (I’m noticed you’ve been engaging in online church. Otherwise, you would want to ask if they have watched)
Hi Joe, This is John. Pastor __ asked that I give you and others in the church a call to check in{small talk, if appropriate
{closed question] Did you hear about how the church is transitioning to online church only? [their answer] Pastor ___and the board could not stand the thought of vulnerable people that church members interact with to have a fatal risk.
[possible open questions}So how are things going for you and the people around you doing? [listen] Other questions could be: Do you think you’ll been able to watch the livestream on Facebook or Youtube(or drive-in church)? [listen] Have you watched a livestream on Facebook or Youtube yet? [listen] We are offering stamped giving envelopes to some who prefer to mail in versus giving online, or bank autopay. Did you have a preference?
There are some guys interested in starting an online Bible study? Is that something you would also be interested in?
We hope that in some ways, this even has us become more intentional, relational in some ways. Let them know that the church will do best to stay connected and strengthened during this time.
