NEW FAMILY RETENTION PLAN BUNDLE

Families Visit… Then Disappear

You see it all the time. 

A new family shows up. 

They seem interested. 

They get a warm welcome. 

Then… they never come back. 

And the truth is, it’s not because they didn’t like your church. 

It’s because there was no clear plan to help them take a next step.

If You Don’t Have a Plan, You’re Losing  Families 

According to church growth expert Rich Birch, the average church retains only 26% of its new  guests—and most see just 3% growth from new attenders annually. Add in natural attrition, and  many churches are unknowingly shrinking. 

It’s not a people problem. 

It’s a follow-up problem. 

There’s a Better Way

We created the New Family Retention Plan to give family ministry leaders a practical,  customizable strategy to retain more guests and help them move from first-time visitor to fully  known and connected. 

No more guessing what to say, when to follow up, or how to track families across teams.
