Someone walks up after service and says, “How do I get involved?”The worst thing you can do is say you’ll follow up… and then never respond.In this episode we talk about one of the biggest mistakes churches make when onboarding new volunteers and why quick follow-up matters more than you think. If someone has the courage to offer their time, leaders need to respond.Check out our FREE Team Night Guide: https://getmxu.com/resources/team-night-guide/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=loseFREE RESOURCES🆓 Take advantage of all the free resources for worship and tech teams that MxU has to offer (growing weekly):  https://getmxu.com/resources/?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=lose&utm_medium=socialIMPROVE YOUR SUNDAY SERVICES🎓 1,000+ Training Videos:  https://getmxu.com/training?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=lose&utm_medium=social🖥️ Volunteer Training Tool:  https://getmxu.com/learning-management-system?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=lose&utm_medium=social🚀 Personalized Coaching:  https://getmxu.com/coaching?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=lose&utm_medium=socialJOIN THE COMMUNITY📸 Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/mxurocks/🤝 Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/MxUrocksWHAT IS MxU?MxU is an online training platform for church leaders to train and equip their worship and tech volunteers:  https://getmxu.com?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=lose&utm_medium=social

First-time guests are showing up at churches every week… but many of them never come back. In this episode, we talk about why that happens and what leaders often miss when thinking about guest experience.

If you want to create an environment where guests feel welcomed, understood, and excited to return, this conversation will help you rethink how your team approaches the first-time experience.Check out our FREE Team Night Guide: https://getmxu.com/resources/team-night-guide/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=returnFREE RESOURCES🆓 Take advantage of all the free resources for worship and tech teams that MxU has to offer (growing weekly):  https://getmxu.com/resources/?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=return&utm_medium=socialIMPROVE YOUR SUNDAY SERVICES🎓 1,000+ Training Videos:  https://getmxu.com/training?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=return&utm_medium=social🖥️ Volunteer Training Tool:  https://getmxu.com/learning-management-system?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=return&utm_medium=social🚀 Personalized Coaching:  https://getmxu.com/coaching?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=return&utm_medium=socialJOIN THE COMMUNITY📸 Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/mxurocks/🤝 Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/MxUrocksWHAT IS MxU?MxU is an online training platform for church leaders to train and equip their worship and tech volunteers:  https://getmxu.com?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=return&utm_medium=social
