Summer is a popular time of the year for people to move and these folks are going to be looking for a home church in their new community. You’ll be seeing many more people in transition coming to your church for the very first time this summer!
The pre-service is your first opportunity to interact with everyone who sets foot on your church’s property – from first-time guests to long-time members – but its purpose and influence is particularly important for first-timers.
Think of it this way: Your pre-service mission, if you choose to accept it, is to do everything you can to take your guest’s guard down (and even put a smile on his face) before the service begins.
There are four primary ways you can influence your guests during the pre-service. By controlling how they are:
- Greeted
- Directed
- Treated
- Seated
When God entrusts you with first-time guests, you face an incredible responsibility. Creating an environment that makes your first-time guests feel both welcomed and respected is key to winning a return visit and beginning the process of assimilating them well.
I want to help you implement a proven, step-by-step assimilation system that will help you invite First Time Summer Guests to become Second Time Guests, then Regular Attenders, and ultimately Fully Engaged Members of your church!
So, today through THIS Tuesday, May 20th, I’m offering you my bestselling, nuts-and-bolts resource, “The Assimilation Seminar”for only $25 – that’s 75% off (regularly $99.95)!
This three-hour seminar will teach the proven principles that I’ve identified, honed and tested over the last decade (in the church I pastor, The Journey, and over 1,100 coaching alumni churches).
This resource is the ultimate tool to help you close the back door of your church this year and get more people plugged in than ever before! Click to Learn More and Download the Assimilation System. (See the p.s for more info)
