Examining the SEEKER SENSITIVE Movement
The Seeker Sensitive Movement is a philosophy or approach within Christianity that emphasizes making church services and environments more accessible and inviting to people who are not yet believers, often referred to as "seekers." The movement seeks to remove barriers that might prevent non-believers from feeling comfortable or welcome in church settings, with the goal of attracting them to explore the Christian faith.
This movement is closely aligned with the Church Growth Movement and taught to revolutionize how church is conducted.
In this video I will go over various aspects to include the history, examples, leaders, and compare to the Bible.
