91% feel church insensitive

According to research conducted by Barna, 91 percent of non-Christians believe that the church isn't sensitive to their needs. Why? Jargon ("insider terms"), incomplete information, information that doesn't address daily concerns.

Tip: Design and write "for the least" among potential visitors. Avoid "churchy" language.

If your site contains a lot of churchy language, start editing now.
