Why do churches need to have a targeted audience?
Without trying you are sending a message about who you are and what audience you serve. These unintentional signals are either attracting people or turning them away. By being intentional about who you are focused on reaching, you are able to be relevant and attractive to the audience you hope to reach. Although this seems exclusive, it actually makes your church more inclusive by focusing on an audience that you can be truly effective at reaching.
