Your church is good at
welcoming people.
But are you keeping them?
Most churches have greeters, follow-up sequences, and a first impressions team that genuinely cares. And yet somewhere between the front door and a small group — between a volunteer's first Sunday and actually belonging — people fade. Not dramatically. Just quietly.
You've got a friendly church. You know it because you've heard the stories. And something still feels off.
"Discipleship doesn't get less relational over time. It gets more."If your connection culture can't sustain people through the journey — it's not a connection culture. It's a welcome culture. Welcome isn't enough.
That season when church just felt alive — lobby conversations that ran long, new faces that became familiar faster than you could explain — that wasn't an accident. It was a culture. And culture can be built on purpose.
One hour. Free. Thursday, May 21.

Greg spent decades leading guest experience and discipleship culture at one of the fastest-growing churches in the country. He distilled those years into a framework that consistently helps churches move 1 in 4 guests to connected, serving members — compared to the national average of 1 in 20.
Tommy has spent the last several years helping mid-level church staff build the systems and culture that turn guests into disciples. He's the architect behind the Assimilayas coaching model and the Discipleship Pathway Audit used by churches across the country.
- You're a connection director, assimilation lead, or volunteer coordinator who inherited a system that isn't working the way it should
- You're a pastor who knows something is off in how people are sticking — but you can't quite name it yet
- You want to use summer strategically so you're not starting from scratch again in September
- You believe the likelihood of someone taking a next step depends on how known they feel — not just how inspired they are
Summer is where
fall wins are built.
Join Greg Curtis and Tommy Carreras on Zoom for a free one-hour workshop on what it actually takes to build a connection culture that sustains discipleship — not just fills seats.
