Invitation & Welcome

Inviting people to church can be really daunting, but it doesn’t need to be! In this series, we will hear great examples of how actual people at Artisan were invited for their first visit, and we’ll talk about why it’s important to invite our friends as well as get some practical advice about how to do it—not to mention what we can all do to make people feel welcome once they attend.
