When you contact newcomers after their first visit, ditch the “thanks for visiting” form letter for something better—possibly handwritten. Better yet, if they’ve indicated it’s OK, give them a phone call or deliver a small “thank you” gift. Ask a church member who loves to bake to head up a pie or baking ministry for that express purpose. When a newcomer attends, follow up with a fresh-baked pastry delivered to them with a smile and a no-pressure thank you for their presence.

Why the Ideal Church Size Debate Is Unhelpful
Church size alone is not an indication of health or unhealth.
Leading With Kindness
Kindness isn’t weakness, it’s the expression of strength from someone who has something to offer. Kindness is not automatic, it’s a gift that you must choose to give.
Evangelism and the Privatization of Faith
Make friends, in your own way, and avoid isolating yourself—be open to show and share the love of God.
