Before the first song is sung or the message is presented, people who visit your church have begun to make decisions about their return visit. This session will examine the important role of greeters, ushers, parking lot attendants, and information desk personnel. This training was provided thanks to a partnership through the Pennisular Florida District and was recorded at their Church Development Conference.

In this session Sean shares how to gain valuable feedback by seeing your church through the eyes of a first time visitor. Sean employs his experience as a guest services coordinator for the hotel and defense industry to highlight areas that are most commonly overlooked in church hospitality ministry. Jason gives practical advice about viewing the church parking lot and foyer as “Main Street”, the importance of first impressions and how to be proactive in engaging guests to our church. You will also lean how to gain relational equity through longevity and friendliness. This session has been provided through our partnership with the Church Development office of the Northern California and Nevada Assemblies of God.

In eight minutes a visitor will determine whether they want to come back to your church. Jason Harper teaches church ushers and greetings that every church has a “main street” or likely route every visitor will take from the parking lot to the auditorium. In this session you will discover how to create a positive “main street” experience for those visiting Aurora First Assembly. This session has been provided through our partnership with the Church Development office of the Northern California and Nevada Assemblies of God.
