Beyond The First Visit
All churches like to think that theirs is the friendliest in town. But do guests see it that way? Gary L. McIntosh invites you to take a look at your church through the eyes of a visitor. His starting point, grounded in an understanding of God as a “welcomer,” is that churches should see those who enter their doors as not merely visitors but as guests, and themselves as gracious hosts. This practical book offers sound advice on assessing and improving the ways in which churches attract, welcome, and connect newcomers to the church family. |

The Exodus Principle
Christ has called the church to serve Himself and others. But for many congregations today, the emphasis is more on personal comfort than personal service. The Exodus Principle explores the critical need of churches to serve both members and visitors as valued, respected guests in God's house. It is only by extending the hand of sincere Christian hospitality, both inside and outside the church, that congregations can continue to grow. |
