There has been quite a bit of interest in my recent post on the top 7 ways to close the back door of the church.  I have been asked quite a few times to write a top 7 list for visitor connection.  The only problem is that it is turning out far too long for a single post.  So, I have decided to write it in a series of posts over then next couple of weeks.  In the interest of laying out the road map, I will go ahead and share the list as it stands now.  I do, however, reserve the right to change it as I write!

1. Take Responsibility For Connection
   
2. Focus On Households
   
3. Refine Your Current Process of REACTIVE Actions
   
4. Create Process of Strategic PROACTIVE Actions
   
5. Recruit and Build an All-Star Connection Team
   
6. Measure the Performance of Your Process (and adjust)
   
7. Measure the Results (and adjust)

My hope is that the list will prove useful to church leaders who want to do a better job of connecting visitors to their church.  I value comments and welcome contribution, so let me hear from you!  First up, Take Responsibility for Visitor Connection.
