How to Treat Visitors

When visitors come to a church, the members should make them feel welcome. There are people who would visit a church, but they might not know anything about church doctrine or the people, so they feel apprehensive. The members of the church must realize that it is their duty to walk over and introduce themselves and make the visitor feel relaxed because no visitor should ever have to introduce himself. The church members shouldn’t smother the visitor with too many questions, nor should church members pressure visitors for phone numbers or addresses.

The church may mention that visitors cards are available, but a visitor cannot be pressured nor made to feel obligated to fill out one. If a visitor wishes to become a member of that church, he should continue to visit in order to get to know the church members and find out what is taught. So yes, there is no need to be afraid to visit, just come and you will find potential friends (Micah 4:1-2; Psalm 122:1; 1 Corinthians 14:23-25; Genesis 28:16-17).

Hope to hear from you or see you at the services.
