Enhancing Church Welcoming Practices

Mark Clifton, Dan Hurst, and Kyle Bueermann discuss some key insights that church consultants have gained from visiting churches.

1. Church websites are often outdated, boring…and useless.
2. Churches are not friendly.
3. Church facilities are not generally marked well.
4. Churches aren’t prepared for guests.
5. Churches are poorly equipped for protecting children.
6. Worship through music often needs improvement.
7. Preaching is often weak.
8. Churches are not always clear on “what to do” in response to worship.
