Creating Irresistible Environments: A Few Tips

  1. Walk through your environment and evaluate traffic flow
  2. Invest in quality, consistent signage
  3. Remember that simplicity and clarity are key
  4. Ask: What in the environment is dated, old, or no longer serves a purpose? 
  5. Ask: When is the last time you invited your Lead Pastor to be a part of the kids' service? Then, invite them into the environment so they can experience it first hand.

Action Items

  1. Take the tips Gabe talked about, and assess your environment
  2. Connect with Worlds of Wow and have a conversation about your current environment, and/or the environment you would like to have
