Ever picked up a flyer, magazine, advertisement anything that just didn’t look good? What was your first impression? What thoughts run through your mind as you process what you see? This is what first time visitors think of when they visit our services. First impressions are made with in the first 5 to 15 minutes they are on the property; that includes parking the car, walking up the side walk entering the foyer and being greeted and given a bulletin.

We’ve been working on some of our first impressions that we can handle in house during the week. We’re finishing up a logo, redesigning the bulletin and how things appear in it. Eventually we are looking at having one or two color shells printed up to spice it up a little bit. Having discussions on graphics and clip art, font, font size and color, uniformness. These are leading up to a style guide for the whole church so that things look uniform and pleasing to the eye.

Somethings we have to work on is… -parking lot (appearance, parking lot attenders) -greeters (knowing what to do when new people come in and specific training on get their name, helping them to the Children’s Ministry area if need be, asking if they can be of any help and showing them to the auditorium) -website (this one is mine, I’m waiting on the logo and color scheme then I’ll start to flesh it out) -worship lyrics and announcements on the screens

What are some ways your small church is working on First Impressions?
