The condition of your facility will speak volumes to guests. It will communicate what the church values, which may be an indicator of how a guest may be treated as well. As a guest to dozens of church facilities a year, the condition of the space and campus are first clue indicators to me as to what is important to that congregation or the leadership. While it may not always be indicative of the desired culture, vision, and mission of the church, it is an indicator that will influence my overall impression.
Does your facility value a culture of protection, safety, and stewardship? Are your fire protection systems properly installed and maintained? Are emergency plans in place? Can guest rest assured that your worship facility is truly a place of sanctuary?
