Is Your Church Family Friendly?
According to Tom Clegg of Church Growth Institute, "When visitors walk through the door, they will decide in 3 to 8 minutes whether they will return." What do people experience when they walk into your church for the first time?

Some questions to consider:
  • Where do I go?
  • Will anyone assist my child?
  • What do the children experience?
