More DescriptionA new family decides to visit your church. Is your church prepared to do what it takes to integrate them as healthy, growing members of your church? This book provides a systematic approach to answer the questions, "How can I keep more visitors coming to my church?" and "Why aren't we able to hang on to them once they come?" Most church leaders struggle with this issue of Keeping Visitors. Visitors assume the church will connect them to others and to God, and the church assumes the visitor will do what it takes to connect. In this day and age, this strategy is not reliable, especially for non-Christians. Churches must think through the steps of welcoming and assimilating visitors into the church in order to maximize its potential for Christ. Churches who have implemented the ideas in Keeping Visitors report significant jumps in their visitor retention rates--one even as high as 93%! It is not personality driven but reaches out with the love of Christ and welcomes people into a community of faith.
