5 Lessons From First Time Church Visitors

"Good morning, welcome to _____ Church." "Excuse me I am not sure that we've met; my name is ____" "So glad you worshipped with us today. Please come again." Do any of these greetings sound familiar? If you have heard them several times, then you've possibly experienced a warm, welcoming congregation. After numerous conversations with first time visitors, several lessons can be given to congregations who seek to live out Romans 12:13 that reminds us to "practice hospitality." What makes a church appear friendly and welcoming? This question gets asked a lot by pastors and ministry leaders who seek to be even more faithful to the Great Commission.
