Here are the five disciplines of an Outward Facing church.

Five practical habits that keep a church from quietly drifting inward

In this video, Andy Stanley walks through five disciplines outward-facing churches practice on purpose:

  1. Assume they're in the room — someone far from God is likely sitting in your seats.

  2. See your church through outsiders' eyes and ears.

  3. Build a culture of invitation ("Come sit with me").

  4. Endear, inspire, invite — in that order.

  5. Celebrate it when you see it happening.
