3 Tips for Keeping A New Guest

As church leaders, we have a wonderful opportunity to extend a warm welcome to first-time guests. By doing so, we can create an environment where they feel valued and inspired to come back again. Here are three tips for connecting with first-time guests:

  1. Smile and engage: A smile goes a long way in making someone feel welcome. Take a moment to introduce yourself and ask them if they need any assistance. You never know how one small act of kindness can have a significant impact on their day.

"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." - 1 Peter 4:10

  1. Follow-up: Your church’s follow-up process should be bullet-proof and ready to go. Every person on the team should know what the steps are and how to execute them. We have developed proven follow-up systems for new guests that will actually retain your people. Ask us how.

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." - Galatians 6:9

  1. Invite them back: Encourage your first-time guests to come back and experience more of your church's community. Offer to connect them with others in the church who share similar interests or hobbies. Show them that your church is a place where they can belong and grow in their faith.

"Let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near." - Hebrews 10:25

By following these tips, you can a welcoming community where everyone feels valued and connected. Let us continue to work towards Increasing Kingdom Impact, one guest at a time.
