Training and Coaching for Church Leaders
Is Your Church Worth a Second Visit?
The average church guest makes up their mind if they’ll come back for a second visit within 7 minutes of driving in the parking lot.
Impactful First Impressions have the potential to make or break a person's experience at church and their perception of God.
So it matters.

Stop Losing Guests and Watch Your Church Grow
Your church’s first impression sets the tone for everything that follows. Guests don’t just evaluate your service or sermon—they’re evaluating your parking lot, signage, greeters, and follow-up.
Unfortunately, many churches struggle to make an impactful first impression, and it’s costing them guests who don't come back. First Impressions provides you with the tools you need to fix that.
From tailored content to interactive coaching sessions and an inspiring community of like-minded leaders, we’re your one-stop-shop for hospitality solutions.
Imagine a church where guests feel so welcomed they can’t wait to come back.
With First Impressions, you can stop the frustration of trial-and-error approaches and start experiencing the results you’ve been praying for: full seats, engaged members, and a thriving church community.
