Welcome Church Visitors

How Good Hospitality Grows Your Church

Should we single out first time church visitors?

One of the features over at EvangelismCoach.org  is “Ask EvangelismCoach.org“, a place where you can submit a question that’s on your mind about evangelism.

I collect them for ideas for future articles, and is a great conversation starter.

A recent one that came in was:

I’m so excited to have found your website – you were recommended by the Evangelism person on staff at PCUSA in Louisville, KY.

There’s a specific question on my mind, one that is causing quite a fuss at the church I’m serving as an interim pastor.

Here’s the question:  should first time visitors be asked to stand up during the worship service, identify themselves, and receive a flower that then identifies them as visitors to the more tenured members of the congregation?

Read the original post to see the reactions that people had.
