Every One Brings One
Every One Brings One to experience the love of Jesus and the gift of belonging at Risen Savior. Many of us first found our way to Risen Savior because someone cared enough to invite us, and now we have the opportunity to do the same.
Being intentional about inviting family, friends, and neighbors doesn’t have to be complicated. It can happen in everyday moments—meeting a new neighbor, enjoying coffee with a friend, or even chatting while getting a haircut. You may find yourself wondering if someone you know has a church home or a place to grow in faith and community. There are so many people we love and care about who are missing out on learning about and having a relationship with God.
Over the next year, we encourage you to prayerfully invite someone to join you for a Sunday service, Bible study, or church event. Feeling nervous about how to do this? That’s okay! A great place to start is to invite someone to one of our upcoming connect events—low pressure, welcoming, and full of opportunities for fun and connection. Below there are some recommendations for suggested events/services to bring someone new to.
Throughout the year, we’ll continue to encourage you to pray and listen for who God may be placing on your heart to invite. Trust that He is already at work!
While you pray on who to invite this year, visit our Welcome Center where a basket of "mini" Jesus' are available so be sure to grab one and use it as a simple, visual reminder that Every One Brings One to Risen Savior in 2026 or use him as your way to "share" your invitation!
Once your person to invite has been determined, visit the invitation station or Welcome Center to grab an invitation to give them or share one of the events below via text or email.

Ways to Connect with an Invitation...
Make it personal...
We have new "Invitation Stations" at each building. These stations will be out all year, so feel free to take as many invites as you need. If you prefer to utilize an electronic invitation, all of our events and services on our website have the ability to be "shared" via email or text. If you aren't sure how to do this, simply ask a staff member or volunteer.
When talking with someone mention something RSLCS offers that would interest them i.e. children's ministry opportunities, worship music, Mens/Women's Bible Studies or an upcoming event/sermon series. There really is something for everyone!
Another option is to text a personal message extending an invite. Mention a specific sermon series that made you think of them and send a link to the sermon. Here is the link to previous sermons. https://www.risensavioraz.org/livestreams
Remember if someone says "no, they aren't interested" try not to take it personally. You have planted the seed and now God can begin His work! You never know when they might reach out to you later.

Join Them for Worship...
Did you know...Over 80% of people say they would try a church if they were personally invited. BUT, only about 2% of people EVER invite someone they know to their church-Let's change this! When you invite someone, offer to attend worship or the event with them. Mention that coffee and doughnuts are available before the service so you can meet them early to find a seat together. Or you can suggest coffee or lunch after the event/service. Many people are hesitant to go to church alone, especially for the first time. Meeting them on campus early and going into the building with them will help make them feel more at home.
Answer Their Questions...
Most people have questions about church or God-especially the unchurched. Do the best you can and share your church/faith story if you're comfortable doing so or share a favorite Bible verse of yours. If you don't know the answer to something they ask, don't worry! None of us have all the answers and refer them to our Church office/pastor if they have more questions.
Show Them Ways to Develop Their Faith...
Whether they have kids that can attend one of the youth ministries or just haven't taken a Bible Study in years, there are many ways to help your friend/neighbor develop further in their faith. Here are some ways to share RSLCS with your friends:
You can "Follow and "Like" the RS Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/rslcs. "Check-in" on Facebook when you attend church worship or any events here on campus.

Bring them to a an event or a Bible Study that may be of interest to get them comfortable. Everything is more engaging with a friend.
