Retention

Finding the Balance

Our guest engagement begins before they even think about going to church.

From Attraction to Connection

We do old-school visitations. Once a month we will go and make a home visit in teams of two or three. We bring a gift bag to the door of someone who has already visited our church.

Rocket Pops and Disciples

Every Sunday is different. We look for opportunities to have cupcakes or cookies on Sunday morning. On 4th of July weekend, people get a rocket pop as they leave. We look for excuses to have those kinds of things.
