EMBRACING VISITORS

What can we do to make visitors feel more at home?

Greeters at the entrances
People to seek them out / meet them
Make it a goal to say hi to 3 new people each week
Have a coupon or something for a free slice of pizza for 1st time visitors
Take ownership – meet new people
Have specific people each week (rotate) to get visitors’ info and follow up with the visitor
Make sure they feel loved and cared for (at the expense of my own fun)
Take responsibility for our home church
Longer greet time after worship
Call visitors – what do you like about youth group, then try to keep doing that
More personal ways to get information – call instead of sign in sheet
