Mystery shopping churches
I am planting a church. Rather than visit the local apostolic churches where I always have some friends (I grew up in a large UPC church that has recycled saints to the other local churches... i pretty much know a group at all the local churches in the section), I decided to visit non-apostolic churches to see how it feels to be a true 100% visitor.
Its funny, I am going to a small and older assemblies of god church just to see what it feels like to come in cold. I really want to understand how a true first time visitor feels when they walk in the doors. I plan on visiting a few other types of churches just so I can learn what I did and did not like when I setup our new church.
Anyone want to chip in on what they like or dislike when they visit a new church where they have no existing friendships/connections?
