How you follow up with guests often determines whether or not they will stick at your church. So these six keys are important for guest retention and assimilation.

- Pastoral touch points in church guest follow up are critical.
- Handwritten notes have great power in our digital world because they are so rare.
- Someone in a group is five times more likely to stick with a church than someone in worship alone.

The six keys we cover on this episode are:
- The time is short
