Meeting New People At Church

Do you sometimes feel uncomfortable meeting someone new? Do you easily initiate conversations with people you don’t know?

Here’s a tip that can help:

Ask questions
Let the person you are meeting do the talking. People generally enjoy telling others about themselves. After introducing yourself, some good questions are:

1. How long have you been coming to New Life?
2. How did you like the message today?
3. What did you think when the speaker said _______________?
4. Do you have any kids?
5. What are you doing for lunch?
6. Have you been to one of our small groups?
7. Have you tried the Accelerate group?
8. Do you live close by?
9. How did you find out about New Life?
10. What do you think of our church?

Make meeting new people at church an intentional part of your Sunday mornings. God may use a simple 3-minute conversation to start someone He loves on a path to eternity in the Kingdom!
