A Simple Strategy to Welcome Church Visitors and Boost Bible Engagement

A Simple Strategy to Welcome Church Visitors and Boost Bible Engagement

How many of these questions have come up in your church staff meetings lately?

  • How can we motivate our members to invite people to church?
  • How can we make sure guests have a great experience and want to come back?
  • How can we help people engage more deeply with the Bible?

If you’ve ever worked in ministry, you’ve probably wrestled with these. One church in Wilmington, NC—Lifepoint Church—has found a way to address all three at once.

📖 Lifepoint Church's Welcome Bundle

 

Lifepoint created a thoughtful welcome gift for any visitor or attender that requests a Bible. The bundle includes:

  • Custom Lifepoint Bible
  • Journal
  • Bible highlighter
  • Pen

This bundle is not only welcoming, it also helps new believers navigate Scripture with confidence.

“When we get in God’s Word, God’s Word gets into us,” says Pastor Jeff.

During his sermons, Pastor Jeff even shares the page number for each passage in the Lifepoint Bible so that newcomers can easily follow along—no fumbling or awkwardness.

🎁 “Salvation Boxes” for New Believers

For those who accept Christ, Lifepoint offers a “Salvation Box” containing:

  • Congratulations card with next steps for baptism
  • Book to support their spiritual growth
  • Custom Bible
  • Pen

📺 “Binge the Bible” – A Series with a Twist

Pastor Jeff’s sermon series, “Binge the Bible,” is modeled like a TV series—with “seasons” that guide the church through Scripture together. The congregation reads along, making it easy for newcomers to jump in and feel included.


📈 What’s Been the Impact?

  • Over 6,000 guests attended Easter 2025 across four campuses.
  • Members feel confident inviting seekers and new Christians.
  • People are engaging more with physical Bibles, not just apps.
  • The whole church is excited to read Scripture together.

If your church is looking for a way to welcome guests and help them engage with the Bible from day one, we’d love to help.
