The Morning Wake Up speaks with Frank Ritchie about how churches can better welcome newcomers. Frank shares his thoughts on why visitors should never feel like an imposition and why it’s important for churches to make it clear how new attendees can begin engaging with the community, especially for those unfamiliar with church culture.

During the conversation, the team and Frank also discuss the balance between being welcoming and giving newcomers space to find their place naturally. They explore how greeting new people is important, but should feel genuine rather than forced or like a sales pitch. Ultimately, the discussion encourages churches to stay mindful of the first-time visitor experience in order to create a truly welcoming environment.

Tune into The Morning Wake Up from 6:00am - 10:00am on the Rhema Media App.
