Abstract

My project was to train our regular Sunday participants to become more gracious hosts for first-time guests at the worship service. The desired outcome was to begin a process of changing our church's general friendliness to an intentional atmosphere of welcoming through a fifty-day emphasis on hospitality. This was accomplished by an informal introductory worship service, seven worship services, six Bible studies, and a seminar for each of our three church boards. Interviews, surveys, and focus groups used before and after the project with selected worship guests and congregational members demonstrated a new intentional welcoming process had begun.
