What’s the difference? Church Prospect vs. Church Guest A Church Prospect is an individual or family whose name and contact information you have obtained who might possibility be interested in visiting or uniting with your church. A Church Guest is an individual or family that has visited your church. They may have visited your worship service, Sunday school or small group program, special event, Bible study or any other church sponsored activity. They would have provided some form of information that has identified them as visiting and not a current member of your church congregation. Turn Prospects into Church Guests with a successful Prayer and Harvest campaign

“ The Jesus Touch” “Not properly following through, losing, or just forgetting someone that has visited your church can be a devastating experience to a person or family searching for a new way of life through Christ and the church. How your church completes the follow-up process will portray an image that will not be forgotten. It might just be the last opportunity to make a difference in someone’s or some family’s eternal life decision”.
