Why Establish a Welcome Class?

Monday, January 3, 2022 | Guest: Matt Fagan |

Imagine a person visiting your church for the first time. How can you as a pastor determine the person's spiritual need? What is a good way for the person to get connected and learn your church culture? On this podcast, Marshall Fant discusses with Matt Fagan how he uses a welcome class to assimilate visitors into the church. Twenty years ago Matt Fagan planted Heritage Baptist Church in Windham, NH, and he continues to pastor this assembly today. You can contact Pastor Fagan with any questions here

Two churches have provided samples of materials they use in their welcome classes: 

  1. Welcome to Heritage
  2. Introduction to Harvest
