"Second Impressions"

Ever year, our leadership team uses a tool that keeps us focused throughout the year. You and I know this tool by the title, GOALS. One of our goals as a leadership team is to advance in our care and efforts in a area we ca calling second impression.

I explained it this way the other day to a friend. If a visitor to our church will increase there effort by coming back after their first visit, we should increase our efforts in getting to know them.

We all know that we get a folks of all ages checking the church out. Every church that I know has a plan to thank them for their visit. It's just common courtesy to do this. Our church is no different. We have a common area that we direct visitors to. They are warmly greeted and given them a gift. They are also asked to fill out a short information card. With this information, they are followed up with a letter.

But what do you do when they come back? Yes, most churches thing about the steps from the front door to the family room. But have we really thought about the next few steps into the group after they come back the second time.

Well, do you have any idea's . . . . will love to hear them.

Have a Great Day
