Mark Waltz, Connections Pastor at Granger Community Church and the Elkhart Campus Pastor, wrote the book on Guest Services for churches - literally. "First Impressions" was released in 2004 and immediately became THE reference for guest service teams in churches all across the country. Writing from a true servant's heart, knowing that welcoming guests was only one side of the coin, he wrote "Lasting Impressions" in 2009. Once again, it was a winner that guided churches to help create a culture of belonging.

"How to WOW Your Church Guests" completes his trilogy of Guest Service information for the church. The book is exceedingly practical, relevant for churches of all sizes, and written to challenge you to "make it obsolete" by adding your own best practices. I lead a Guest Services team at a large church in North Carolina, and anxiously awaited its arrival. Our Guest Services teams are on top of our game every week, but "How to WOW Your Church Guests" gives us new targets to aim for.

If you want to increase the effectiveness of your church's guest services practices, this book is for you!

Anxiously awaiting my copy of "How to Wow Your Church Guests" I've read both of Mark's previous books, I've attended his workshops at Granger Community Church and brought him all the way from Granger Indiana to Hanford, California to bring this message and conversation to our own church body. Love this guy and his heart for the church and the "guests" we encounter. I already know its a must read if you care about this stuff too!

I received this book ahead of schedule and it is a great tool for our 1st Impressions team! Can't wait to share this with everyone at church.
