The Try 5 Strategy for Connecting with New Guests
Nate Seaman, the lead pastor of LifePoint Church, shares the Try 5 strategy they use to encourage new guests to keep returning. They realized that their front door was open to many first-time guests, but their back door was even bigger. Try 5 is a philosophy change that recognizes it takes more than one visit for someone to fully see who they are as a church. They created a consumer-driven product that encourages additional visits beyond the first experience. By attending five times, guests get a 360 view of the church. The strategy includes clear instructions, special parking, a new here/start here team, and a Try 5 card with a QR code. LifePoint Church has seen significant growth as a result, with a 35% Try 5 completion rate and a 48% increase in attendance.
