The One Thing 440 Welcoming: organised but not warm (that’s the problem!)
Over the last few years, churches have become very good at welcoming systems - name tags, check-in flows, connection cards, follow-up processes.
But here’s the uncomfortable question: Have we become organised… but not warm?
Today we’re talking about welcoming teams, and why relationships - not numbers - must be the hero.
Scott Sanders sits down with Amber Edmonds (MBM Parramatta) to talk about follow-up - thinking deeply about how churches welcome people as individuals, not projects - and how training, theology, and culture shape that welcome across the whole church.
