What does it actually feel like to walk into your church for the very first time?

In this episode of the Timothy Project Podcast, Chad Hunsberger sits down with Liz Cuenin, Minister of Membership and Assimilation at Dawson Baptist Church, to talk about creating a church culture where guests feel seen, welcomed, and connected. From parking lot signage and greeter teams to membership classes and one-on-one pastoral conversations, Liz shares practical wisdom on helping people move from first-time visitor to fully engaged church member.

The conversation explores why hospitality matters deeply in ministry, how churches of any size can improve guest assimilation, and why a clear membership process strengthens the health and unity of the local church. Whether you serve on staff at a large church or pastor a small congregation with limited resources, this episode offers thoughtful, actionable encouragement for building a church where people truly feel known.
