Ev 66 Creating a Culture of Welcome in the Local Church (2004)
£2.77Juggling with books, not knowing when to sit or stand, being glared at for sitting in the wrong seat - for many people, their first visit to a church service is about as enjoyable as a trip to the dentist. But why do churches become so unfriendly, and how can we create a culture of welcome?
This practical study looks at the reality of people's experience, the roots of the problem, and offers workable strategies for bringing about a change in culture. It includes a 'welcome audit' that can be copied and used, and supporting material on the Grove web site to help tackle this crucial issue.
