First Impressions Conference (May 7–9, 2019)

First Impressions Conference
May 7–9, 2019
Online

This is a 3-day online event featuring leading voices on improving your church’s first-time guest experience.

The First Impressions Conference is more than a single event. It’s more than a series of events. It’s a movement towards biblical hospitality. What began as an idea in the mind and heart of Greg Atkinson, has become an international conversation around making guests feel welcome each and every weekend at the local church.

The First Impressions Conference team hosts the annual online conference, facilitates in-person get-away weekends, produces live workshops and regional events, encourages the ongoing conversation in the Facebook group, and provides resources throughout the year to help you—the church practitioner in the trenches—better welcome your guests.

FROM THE STREET TO THE SEAT, IF IT HAPPENS ON SUNDAY, WE COVER IT.

How to Leverage Existing Ministries for Outreach

“You could launch new outreach ministries without removing any existing ministries, increasing your budget or adding staff.”

Doing Unto Others

Davis maintains that ministry shouldn’t be about serving at church on a Sunday morning, because those people are already saved. Instead, it should be about doing ministry on the mission field and talking to people who are unchurched.
