You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Develop a welcoming church that not only creates a good impression but invites visitors to make themselves at home.
The Winning Welcome is a valuable resource for achieving the church's main goal of increasing the kingdom. Sections such as Ten Things First Time Guests Need, and Turning Visitors into Attendees supply insight and helpful ideas for church members wanting to make the new guest feel welcome.
The Winning Welcome will help your church:
Develop a plan to effectively welcome visitors
Make your building more inviting to guests
Equip greeters and ushers to make guests feel welcome
Provide visitors with helpful information about your church
Turn visitors into regular attendees, and much more!
