What Can You Expect When You Visit?

Many people hesitate to visit a new church because they don't know what to expect. This tract tells them, so they can come in with confidence.

What Can You Expect When You Visit? is a welcome tract by Carl McMurray. It walks a first-time visitor through what worship looks like in a church of Christ and assures them they'll be an honored guest.

Spanish edition: This tract is also available in Spanish as ¿Qué Puede Esperar Cuando Nos Visita?. Disponible en español.

Why Hand Out This Tract

Visiting a new church can be intimidating. This tract answers the questions guests usually have before they ever walk in: who leads the service, whether they'll be singled out, what the singing and teaching are like, whether they're expected to give, and whether they may take the Lord's Supper. It closes with a warm invitation to visit your Bible studies and worship.

What It Covers

• Planned and understandable: an orderly service with no surprises and no jargon (1 Corinthians 14:9, 40)
• Encouraging and spiritual: worship built around God's Word (1 Peter 2:2)
• Scriptural: singing, prayer, teaching, giving, and the Lord's Supper each first day (Colossians 3:17)
• Open to guests: Bible study discussion, no obligation to give, and the Supper served every Sunday

Ways to Use It

It's made for visitor packets, welcome tables, door-knocking, and community mailings. Give it to anyone you're inviting to services. The Spanish edition helps you welcome Spanish-speaking guests.
