Does your church put out the "Welcome" mat or the "Do not disturb"
sign? We all like to think that our church is the friendliest one
in town. But do visitors see it that way? Church consultant Gary L.
McIntosh invites you to take another look at your church through
the eyes of a first-time guest to identify the things that might be
holding them back from a second visit. This very practical book
offers sound advice on assessing and improving the ways in which
your church attracts people, welcomes them, does follow-up, and
brings them into the church family. More than simply offering mere
techniques, it gives suggestions for making a welcoming attitude
part of the very fabric of your church. "McIntosh is a coach who
knows the fundamentals of church life and outreach. Beyond the
First Visit is an essential training tool on how to implement these
fundamentals."--Dr. John W. Ellas, Center for Church Growth "Gary
McIntosh has learned, as a church consultant with years of
experience, to see the churches he visits from the first-time
guest's point of view. We have only one chance to make a first
impression!"--Eddie Gibbs, Fuller Theological Seminary "McIntosh's
new book fills a long-standing void. No one (to my knowledge) since
Lyle Schaller's Assimilating New Members, published in 1978, has
addressed the challenge of effectively including new people in the
church's life with this much background, savvy, and
precision."--George G. Hunter III, distinguished professor of
Evangelism and Church Growth, Asbury Theological Seminary "This
book is great! It's filled with practical ideas to tackle every
local church's greatest challenge: how to connect and disciple new
people. We have already begun toimplement many of Gary's excellent
ideas."--Dr. Gary D. Kinnaman, author, senior pastor, Word of
Grace, Mesa, AZ Gary L. McIntosh is professor of Christian Ministry
and Leadership at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University. He
is a former pastor with many years as a church consultant. He is
the author or coauthor of thirteen books on church leadership and
growth, and the editor of Church Growth Network and Journal of the
American Society of Church Growth.
