79% of first-time church visitors were personally invited by someone they know. What happens in the 48 hours after that visit determines whether they come back.
This guide gives you a complete 4-week guest follow-up system:
- Week 1: Same-day text, 48-hour handwritten note, 72-hour phone call, scripts included
- Week 2: Personal invitation to a specific upcoming event
- Week 3: Connection to a small group or ministry that fits their life
- Week 4: Pastoral check-in and next-step conversation
Also includes:
- A guest information card template
- Email and text message templates for each touchpoint
- A simple tracking spreadsheet
- How to involve your congregation in follow-up without it feeling like a program
- What to do when guests don’t respond
- How to follow up with guests who visited during a crisis or funeral
Designed for churches without a welcome pastor or administrative staff. One person can run this system in under two hours per week.
