Let me ask you something.
How many guests visited your church last year?
Now here's the harder question.
How many of them came back?
If you're honest...
The gap between those two numbers probably tells a story.
And it's not a story about your preaching.
It's not a story about your worship team.
It's not a story about your building, your location, or your budget.
It's a story about what happens AFTER someone walks through your doors for the first time.
Because most churches are really good at one thing.
Getting people to show up.
But then what?
Guests walk in.
They experience something real.
They feel something stir.
They smile on the way out.
They say "we'll be back."
And then...
Nothing.
No follow-up.
No clear next step.
No path from visiting to belonging.
And just like that...
They're gone.
Not because they didn't like your church.
Not because God wasn't moving.
But because nobody gave them a clear path back.
That's not a heart problem. That's a system problem.
And here's the thing about system problems.
They're fixable.
You've probably felt this before.
A family visits on Sunday.
They seem engaged. Their kids loved it.
They hang around after service and talk to a few people.
You think to yourself...
"These guys are going to be regulars."
And then the next Sunday comes.
Empty seat.
And the Sunday after that.
Empty seat.
You follow up personally. Maybe you even call or text.
But by then the moment has passed.
They've moved on.
And you're left wondering...
What did I miss?
Here's what I've learned after years of working with small church pastors.
It's rarely one big thing. It's usually a series of small gaps.
No clear first impressions process.
No intentional connection points during service.
No simple way to collect their information.
No follow-up system after they leave.
No clear next step to invite them into.
Each gap on its own seems small.
But together they create a revolving door.
People come in.
People go out.
And the church stays stuck.
Here's the good news.
You don't need a massive overhaul to fix this.
You need a simple, intentional process.
And that's exactly what this workshop builds
I learned this the hard way.
In my first year as a discipleship pastor our church saw around 2,000 first-time guests.
2,000 people.
That sounds incredible right?
But when we actually looked at what was happening...
We had only connected with around 20 of them.
20 out of 2,000.
That was my wake-up call.
All those people. All those families. All those souls God was sending our way.
Slipping through the cracks.
Not because we didn't care.
Because we didn't have a process.
So we got to work.
We improved our guest gift.
We adjusted how we collected information.
We built a real follow-up system.
We created intentional connection points throughout the Sunday experience.
We became more deliberate about relationships.
And the results?
Around 150 new members a year.
More baptisms.
More people serving.
More families calling our church home.
Same God. Same pastor. Same building. Different system.
That's when I knew this wasn't just our story.
This was something every small church pastor needed.
A simple, practical workshop for small church pastors who want to help more first-time guests return, get connected, and call the church home.
“We went from 60 to 120 in just six months. The difference was we finally had a system for connecting with guests.”
— Pastor Jacob Crawford
Maybe you've tried things before.
A new welcome card.
A follow-up call system.
A guest packet at the door.
And maybe it worked for a little while.
But then it fizzled.
Because it wasn't connected to a full process.
It was just one piece without the whole picture.
That's what makes the Connect More Guests Workshop different.
This isn't one tip.
This isn't a generic church growth strategy built for megachurches with full-time staff and unlimited budgets.
This is a complete end-to-end guest connection process built specifically for small churches under 200.
Simple enough to implement this week.
Practical enough to actually stick.

WHAT PASTORS ARE SAYING
💬 Pastor Jacob: “Using this system, we added 100 new members in one year. It was simple to implement, and guests actually started coming back. I wish I had this years ago!”
💬 Pastor Chris was stuck with leaky follow-up — now he’s celebrating +100 new members in 12 months. (#53 Fastest-Growing Church, Outreach Magazine 2020)
THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR YOU IF:
You lead a church under 200.
Guests visit but rarely return.
You're tired of watching people slip through the cracks.
You want a simple process, not more theory.
You're ready to stop guessing and start building.
THIS WORKSHOP IS NOT FOR YOU IF:
You're looking for results without implementation.
You want church growth without intentional systems.
Or you know deep down you're not ready to make changes to how guests are welcomed, followed up with, and guided toward next steps.
Because the truth is simple.
A workshop gives you clarity. A framework. A process. A plan.
But only YOU can turn that plan into growth.
Every Sunday you wait,
more guests may visit your church without ever returning.
One more missed connection.
One more family that drifts.
One more guest who liked the service but never found a clear path back.
You don't need more time wondering what to do.
You need a plan you can put into motion this week.
The faster you fix the process, the faster you start helping more guests come back.

That said...

Then this is your moment.
You became a pastor because you care about people.
You want guests to feel seen.
You want families to feel welcomed.
You want people to encounter Jesus and find a church home.
The desire is already there.

❓Still Have Questions?
Here’s Everything You Need to Know!
Q: Who is this workshop for?
A. Pastors of churches under 200 who want to see more guests return, get connected, and take next steps.
Q: Is this for churches without a large team?
A: Yes. This was designed with small churches in mind. No big staff. No big budget. No polished production required.
Q: What if I can’t make it live?
A: No problem — your ticket includes lifetime replay access so you can watch anytime or share with your team.
Q: Is there a refund policy?
A: Because this is a live event with immediate access to resources, all sales are final. But if you attend and don’t walk away with a clear follow-up system, I’ll personally work with you until you do.
Q: What happens after I set up my guest connection system?
A: Once you have your follow-up system running, the next step is to help returning guests take their next step toward membership and involvement. That’s why many pastors add the Attending to Belonging pathway — it’s a ready-to-use plan that moves guests from “I’m new here” to “This is my church.”
Q: Can this help me grow other areas of my church?
A: Absolutely. Once you start connecting more guests, you’ll naturally see opportunities in leadership, outreach, and volunteer engagement. That’s why I also coach pastors inside Church Growth Academy, where we build the full set of systems to help you grow a healthy church without burning out.
Every Sunday without a follow-up system means guests are slipping through the cracks.
Don’t let another week go by without fixing this.
