It’s important for all small groups to have a welcoming “front door” – easy and natural moments for first-time guests to feel at home and belong.

However, leaders must eventually shift from welcoming new members to creating a safe space for those who are already in attendance. This shift can be hard to manage.

If the front door remains open for too long, vulnerability and true connection can be hard to find. Conversely, if it’s not open long enough (or at all), attendance stagnates and groups lose touch with their mission.

Join us as we talk about how and when to “close the front door” – and what to do next.
