After finding a facility for your church, corralling a group of cheerful volunteers, and setting a launch date, you are ready to open your doors! You can’t wait to create a church family, change lives, and impact your community. But will your launch be successful? Will all of your hard work and preparation inspire new visitors to become regular attendees? Make sure you have these seven things to ensure a successful launch weekend and provide your congregation with a life-changing, God-filled experience.

1. 7
THINGS
YOUR CHURCH LOCATION MUST HAVE
IF YOU WANT A
SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH

2. PARKING OR EASY ACCESS
DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH PARKING
TO ACCOMMODATE ALL OF YOUR VISITORS?
1.7 ADULTS PER CAR IS AN AVERAGE.

3. CLEAR SIGNAGE
DO YOUR VISITORS KNOW HOW TO GET TO
THE SANCTUARY? THE CHILDREN’S AREA?
THE RESTROOMS? CAN VISITORS EASILY
NAVIGATE THE FACILITY ON THEIR OWN?

4. RESTROOM FACILITIES
SPEAKING OF RESTROOMS... DO YOU HAVE
ENOUGH? THE RECOMMENDED RATIOS ARE
1:75 FOR WOMEN AND 1:150 FOR MEN.

5. SAFE AND FUN CHILDREN’S AREA
HAVE YOU PROVIDED RELIABLE, SECURE
CHILDCARE? PARENTS WANT TO KNOW
THAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE SAFE, HAPPY,
AND ENTERTAINED.

6. COMFORTABLE SEATING
ARE YOUR VISITORS SQUIRMING IN
UNCOMFORTABLE CHAIRS WHILE YOU
PREACH? DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH SEATING TO
ACCOMODATE EVERYONE WHO PULLS INTO
THE PARKING LOT?

7. A GREAT AUDIO AND VIDEO EXPERIENCE
CAN EVERYONE IN THE SANCTUARY SEE AND
HEAR CLEARLY? IF YOU’RE GOING TO USE
AUDIO VIDEO TECHNOLOGY, THEN
USE IT WELL!

8. A WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE
PEOPLE DECIDE WHETHER THEY WILL COME
BACK TO YOUR CHURCH WITHIN THE FIRST 7
MINUTES OF BEING IN YOUR BUILDING
BEFORE THEY EVEN HEAR YOU PREACH.
