I know I have talked about this subject a couple years ago, but with so many churches seeing a lot of first-time visitors enter through their doors I felt it was important to revisit this subject. I have pastored and visited churches where the statement was made (usually by regular attenders) about how friendly their church was. But when one drills down below the spoken statements, you find your church may not be as friendly and welcoming as you might think. Most churches are friendly to people they see on a weekly basis. If you want to find out how friendly and welcoming you are, ask a couple of people to visit anonymously and then bring you a report on their experience. You may be surprised.
