Will Mancini joins us to discuss how churches can better connect with guests and mistakes they make that hurt those connections.

Some highlights from today’s episode include:

• A church’s first impressions can make an eternal impact on guests.
• It’s not uncommon for guests to make up 5-8% of a church’s weekly attendance.
• Guests are starting to decide whether or not to return to your church within the first 11 minutes on your campus.
• Guests typically talk about their initial experience with a church 8-15 times.
• Churches should use language for guests, not visitors.
