Listen Later

In Episode 610 of the NewChurches Q&A Podcast, Daniel and Todd discuss how to make the worship center look full in fluctuating attendance patterns post-COVID.

“At what point does a worship center feel full? Does the 80% capacity rule still apply? Or what percentage would you recommend for a worship center with adequate spacing for aisles and chairs without armrests?”

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
  • Different models for seating
  • Why you want to avoid being 100% full
