There will be two main audiences attending your Easter services this year. Your faithful members who wouldn’t miss it and those who come kicking and screaming because someone dragged (or bribed, or coerced, or nagged, or …) them to church. In this episode, Drs. Bill and Kris offer some tips and tactics for planning an Easter that could make a difference to both groups.


Just how friendly do you think your church is to first-time visitors? How friendly does your congregation think it is? We’ve never met a church that admitted they were unfriendly to guests, but the reality is … that’s more of a norm than you probably imagine. But you can’t fix what everyone thinks is working just fine. In this episode Drs. Kris and Bill offer you and your congregation the Secret Shopper tool that will help you get to the truth about hospitality.


Christmas is just around the corner … even Wal Mart is selling decorations and pushing gift ideas. So, how can the church get ready for this most holy and most commercialized season of the year. In this episode, Drs. Bill and Kris work through the 2011 ABC Holiday Checklist to help you prepare for what’s to come.

Bill and Kris provide the insights necessary to take your church sign to the next level.
