The following post was so incredibly short AND beneficial we decided to fully copy and past the entire thing. We highly recommend you follow www.ministrybestpractices.com if you don’t already.

Don’t allow your church website to become out-of-date and be hard to navigate. Make sure important facts such as service times/location & directions/what to expect are clear and easy to find.

Make sure you have enough parking lot volunteers to show people where to park and where to enter the church. It is often said that the “sermon” starts in the parking lot – and it is true that the first impression and assistance given in the parking lot will help set the tone for the visitor’s experience.

Have adequate exterior signage that identifies buildings and points a visitor in the right direction. It is ok to make your church look like the bat cave…can’t have enough signage.

Make sure your indoor signage is clear and not confusing in which it uses ministry names that a visitor won’t understand. Avoid jargon and clever ministry names without explaining what they are/who they are for. For example, don’t just post signs for “Discovery Cove” without posting more info about what age group that ministry is for.

Smile, Say Hello & Talk to Visitors! This is everyone’s responsibility – not just staff and certain volunteers.
