YOUR GUIDE TO A COMPLETE & EFFECTIVE GUEST MINISTRY

Why do I need a map?
One of the most important components of successful Christian ministries is a thriving guest ministry. The ability a ministry has to quickly and efficiently connect well with the people who walk through their doors can many times be the difference between a growing ministry and a struggling ministry. That is why Equip created our free Guest Ministry Roadmap.

This step-by-step guide will help you successfully navigate the process of starting a brand new guest ministry or revamping an existing one. We have put time and careful research into making sure you have the best strategies, advice, and resources to make guests feel welcome and at home with your ministry. We hope this free resource is a valuable tool to helping you reach more people in the name of Jesus Christ as we work together with you to grow God’s kingdom.

1. PREPARE

Taking the time to develope a plan and prepare your facility for guests creates a foundation for everything they will experience. From welcome signs to take-home gifts and everything in between, prepare everything in advance.

2. INVITE

A personal invitation means everything. Make it easy for members to invite people with invitations and support them with increased brand awareness in your community through mailings and outreach events.

3. ENGAGE

From the moment they arrive, engage your guests with friendly faces, easy parking and Guest packets that explain your church. Then cap off the expereince with a gift, thanking them for coming.

4. FOLLOW-UP

Phone, text, email and mail are all tools for intentionally engaging guests after their visit and inviting them to come back again. This step is where you see the fruit of all your labor.

JOHN GRANDYDiscipleship Pastor | LifeChurch Canton, MI

"Often dealing with 'net companies' there isn't good customer service, or communication, but these folks are amazing!... THIS is THE company to do business with."

TIM MORGANPastor | Fruit Hill Baptist Church

“Equip has become a staple in advancing our church to the next level with publications... They are a MUST for every church or business. Great staff! Great products! Great experience! Would highly recommend Equip for all your printed needs.”

KEVIN WILSONPastor | Central Assembly of God

“The thing I love best about working with Equip is that it's a relationship, not a transaction. There are times when you're working with ministries when you have short deadlines. I can call Equip and say, 'Hey, here's the situation, what can you do?' I've been able to do that with Equip. If it's something they can do they will tell me they can do it and they're happy to do it. If they can't, they tell me. But if they can't, sometimes they present a different solution which actually works better.”
