TRAINING FOR MISSIONAL IMPACT
You're welcome!
Think about what you’d feel like going to a new church. You’d want to feel welcome, you‘d want to feel relaxed, you’d want to feel that this could be your new church home.
Every Sunday is an opportunity to provide an amazing welcome to everyone who comes along. To learn more about welcoming others to your community, listen to our podcast, ‘You’re welcome!’

Challenging our digital boundaries
For many people, the first step in going to a new church is visiting its website. For tips and tricks on leveraging digital platforms to welcome newcomers, watch ‘Challenging Our Digital Boundaries: Social media and web presence as missional opportunities'.
We'd love to help you train for media mission.
