Greeting new visitors to church is essential if you want to grow your ministry. According to Pew Research Center, 79% of people said feeling welcomed played an important role in choosing a new place of worship. And Easter sees a surplus of newcomers, giving you a big opportunity to make a lasting impression.
Whether you’ve been planning the church’s Easter celebration for months or you’re just now starting, you’ve still got time to check those boxes off your list. And we’re here to make it a little easier! Everything on the last-minute checklist to prepare for Easter can be done 1-2 weeks before the big day.
No matter how many church visitors you’re expecting on Easter, you’ll need to have a plan ready. Studies show organizations that create a plan are twice as likely to succeed in their efforts. But, the quality of your plan is going to be the key factor in your success.
Easter is fast approaching! And 93% of church leaders report they see up to 2X as many people attend on Easter versus a normal Sunday service. In fact, six out of ten people plan on celebrating Easter at church compared to the usual four out of ten that attend services on a regular basis.
Volunteers are an essential part of the church. They assist when church leaders are spread thin and have a way of inspiring other members to join in the culture of service. On top of that – volunteers give 2X more to the church than non-volunteers. But, recruiting people to donate their time can be a challenge.
