It’s a brand new year, and with it comes new opportunities!

With that in mind, here’s one big question:

Is your church welcoming guests, or just friendly toward them?

There really is a difference if you think about it:

• Friendly churches acknowledge visitors.
• Welcoming churches expect guests.
• Friendly churches provide connection cards.
• Welcoming churches design connection processes.
• Friendly churches place greeters at the doors.
• Welcoming churches position people at points along a guest pathway.
• Friendly churches hope you will come back.
• Welcoming churches invite you to return next week.

At Auxano, we’ve spent almost 20 years walking alongside churches in the development and accomplishment of their unique vision – something we like to call Clarity First consulting. With every church, we’ve seen ways they can improve their Guest Experience – from online to onsite – moving from being a friendly church to welcoming guests well.

We’ve compiled our learnings into a pathway we call the 7 Checkpoints of an Engaging Guest Experience, and developed a team-centered tool for your team.
