What to Expect
First visits to church can be awkward, especially your first time at any church. We wondered, "What do churches think about visitors who are exploring the faith?"
We collected responses from 5,800 churches across the United States.
What if I'm not a Christian?
- Redeemer's Sunday services are all about the gospel, and it applies equally to Christians and non-Christians. We like to think that it is a great environment to hear Christians speak to one another about the value of Jesus and what this means for our lives.
- We use the term pre-christian to those who have not given their lives to Christ, and we believe that God has called us to be on Mission in obeying Christ commission-"Making Christ-like Disciples
- You are most welcome here. We care for you.
- All are welcome at God's Table.
- All are welcome to attend.
- Everyone is welcome.
- Anyone would feel welcomed as we are open and nonjudgmental. Everyone who attends feels comfortable as we are focusing on God and allowing Him to change us.

- You are most welcome to come and explore the faith at Redeemer.
- Todos son bienvenidos. Nuestras puertas están abiertas para todos los que quisieran venir y escuchar la palabra. Si tienen preguntas, nuestros Pastores y Diáconos están disponibles para hablar con ustedes.
- Love you
- You are welcome to come check it out. There is no secret code to get in. There is no need to be anything other than you. We are all sinners saved by grace, the only difference is we have discovered truth in a relationship with Christ (Christian) and you are still searching. We were all searchers too, and now we are on a journey to follow the truth of God's Word
- You are absolutely welcome providing you are not coming to disturb, interrupt, make fun of or challenge. If you are truly seeking, have honest questions, want to explore genuine Christianity, then please contact us.
- We'd love for you to come! We hope that you find here a community that is welcoming and a God who has set you free through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
- The door is open come as you are and experience faith, hope and love.
- Our desire is that we show Jesus in our lives and offer Him to you. Hopefully our congregation welcomes you, focuses on Jesus Christ and lets you know He wants to be your Lord and Savior too. Our service is for worshiping Him, not people.
- You are accepted as you are!
- Welcome in Preschool, parish events, at the Divine Service, Bible Class...
- We love people no matter where they are in their journey.
- Join us for a time of exploring who God says He is. We will be happy to help you get to know God in a personal way.
- The gospel is a term used throughout the New Testament that translated literally means "good news". We believe that the gospel really is good news for everyone that puts their faith in Christ. It both saves us and teaches us how to live. The gospel is not merely for the day we are saved and/or the day we stand before God, but for everyday in between too. The gospel progressively transforms us as we continue to walk in light of this good news. Whether you are a Christian or not, we believe that this message of good news compels us to respond to Christ in faith and worship - for the first time or the thousandth!
- You are welcome to join us! Even if you are not yet a Christian, just come with an open heart and mind to hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
- You probably would enjoy simple church because you would really get to know people involved and ask questions. You are welcome!
- All are welcome and encouraged to attend regardless of spiritual status.
- Everyone is welcome, especially those desiring to learn more about God. You won't find judgement but will find acceptance, encouragement and those who will walk with you on your journey through life.
- Whosoever will, let him come!
- Everyone is welcome to attend and explore God's Word and discover what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe that the Bible is true and that it's message is real and relevant for today's world.
- You are welcomed to come and experience the Jesus in us. God inspires His word to go forward, by planting His truth, Antioch welcomes you in love, and then steps back and watches God manifest His personal encounter with you. No pressure just sharing God's love while presenting His invitation to accept His gift of salvation.
- Come - you're welcome here. Jesus had a great message, and is a great teacher. Come for community and teaching that's got ancient wisdom for today's needs.
- Come as you are! You will be welcomed and accepted.
- Whether you are familiar with church or not, we hope our worship services may be a safe place to explore the Christian faith from the inside. We fully expect everyone to bring with them their questions, doubts, and fears, as well as their joy, eagerness, faith and everything in between.
- Everyone is welcomed on an equal basis.
- Non-Christians are very welcome. There is no pressure to become a Christian although the invitation will be extended on a regular basis. Church attenders to the Christian Ed hour are being trained right now to disciple new Christians using a little book called Following Christ. This book takes pre-believers and new believers through an explanation of getting started in Christian faith.
- Everyone is welcome!
- Come and give us a try! Others who have been burnt elsewhere have come to find healing and their faith over time. We have several frequent attenders who are not yet full members, but with ongoing discipleship, they will be in time.
- You are welcome to come with any and all questions. There is no need to check your brain at the door. Come and join the journey to faith with us.
- You are the perfect candidate !
- All people are welcome at St. John's.
- Check us out. We're a really safe place to explore at your own pace. We're also pretty fun to hang out with.

- At St. David's we recognize the Christian life as a journey. Each one of us is at a different place along this life-long path, but all are welcome for what they bring to the table.
- Since we were all not Christians at some point, and since Christians are only Christians by the mercy of God, we think you will be able to relate with us and are excited to meet you.
- We are not real fond of that word any more either! We follow Christ without all of the cultural trappings of being "christian", which comes loaded with people's opinions about what that means and what they "have" to do. We dump all of that stuff and let you be yourself, whether you follow Christ or are a complete atheist. We can grow and learn from each other.
- All are welcome!!
- So... we welcome people who are looking around, exploring life, figuring it out.
- You are very welcome here! We'd love to get to know you and find out more about who you are and how we can serve you.
- You will feel very welcomed. We won't push Christianity at you, as we will be honest about our own faith journeys, the ups and downs, the moments of faith and the moments of doubt. Yet, we do believe in Jesus Christ and our faith runs deep, even if we don't use "Christian language." And if you are interested in exploring Christianity and what it means to become a follower of Jesus Christ, our pastor or one of our members would be happy to meet with you to answer your questions. We also periodically offer a Pastor's Class, which is an introduction to the Christian faith.
- We welcome all to the Lord's Table.
- Trinity is a great place to learn and grow and experience faith as an important component in a family's life.
- We would love to welcome you to any of our services! Everyone takes a different path in their spiritual journey, come start with us! If you like live music, you will probably want to try out Saturday Night Alive or Starting Point . Think church should be organ music that you sing hymns too? Then perhaps 8:00 a.m. (smaller size worship service - 40-60 people) or 10:05 a.m. (larger worship service - 275-350 people) worship services are for you. If you want to discover why being a Christian is for you....talk David, Cathie, Janel, Sharon or Mitzi....and we will help find a small group where you can ask questions or just absorb and discover. Take your time, God is patient....and He loves you very much!
- You are always welcome here!
- We welcome people who are searching for spiritual answers and meaning. We know we are not the only people in the world who are about the task of getting our spiritual lives in order.
- If your not a Christian you will walk out being a christian because you'll be filled with Jesus and the Holy Spirit
- See christdeaf.org >> faith sharing resources
- You will find a place where you can learn about what the Bible says, who Christ is, and also see Christianity lived out.
- Come and join us; we're all on a journey. Our worship is explicitly Christian, but we are people with questions working together to find the answers, not people with answers to all the questions.
- We desire to show compassion and truth to the world. As a church, we believe every person has the unique opportunity to make a difference for Jesus Christ in their workplaces, neighborhoods and family environments. We encourage people to develop relationships with people of all walks of life, showing love and grace, rather than pulling away from the world. We intentionally teach compassion rather than judgment towards the world, desiring to be a light to our communities.
- All are welcome.
- You will be welcomed and you will not be alone.
- Please come and we will be blessed
- Even if you don't know Jesus, you belong. LakePointe is a place to Belong as you Change, and to Change as you Follow Jesus. We want to help people receive all God has for them by experiencing a life-changing relationship with Jesus, by giving people a safe place to belong, and by teaching people what it means to follow Jesus. Whether you have doubts about God or are a committed Jesus-follower, LakePointe is a perfect place to either begin or continue your spiritual journey. We believe the Bible has the answers to life's biggest questions, and we want to help people take a closer look at what it says.
- The church is not a hotel for saints but a hospital for sinners
- Everyone is welcome at The Calvary Missionary Baptist Church
- You will have a great time meeting other non-Christians who are a part of our community. Being a Christian is journey, non of us ever arrived but are constantly on a journey together with Christ. There is no other great starting place to begin your journey on how to become a Christian than in church. We are a bunch of crazy people looking for a way to find God, and we welcome you to find Him together with us.
- Fort Caroline Baptist Church is a safe place to explore the truth claims of Jesus Christ, to meet new friends, and to have fun.

- You are welcome to come, check us out. You may be greeted by a number of people, but that's only because we're friendly. You won't be pressured into doing anything that may make you uncomfortable. We would love to meet you!
- You are welcome to attend!
- Neither was Jesus! Seriously, we invite you to come, get to know us, ask questions, engage us in conversation, and experience a caring community.
- The good news is that Jesus Christ is God's provision for man's sin. We are not capable of doing enough good works to erase our sin debt. Ephesians 2:8-9 "for by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." It is not enough to simply know this truth. We must exercise our faith. John 1:12 says, "but to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." How do you receive Christ? Accept that you are a sinner, Believe that Jesus died for your sins, Confess that Jesus is you Lord and Savior. If you would like more information and someone to pray with you, please come visit us.
- We would still love for you to join us. We are far from perfect, and we never claim to be. We all have our short comings. A church does not obtain growth by turning people away because of their lifestyle. We have people from all walks of life: people who smoke, drink, curse, are covered with tattoos. You name it. Our church doesn't have a standard, and we aren't going to kick you out the door if you aren't a Christian. In fact, we would love for you to come.
- We would be happy to have you come and visit! We would be happy to talk with you about any questions you may have.
- Not a problem.
- There is a place for you here. This is a place for you to comfortably explore your journey that has brought you here. This a place that you can be accepted and grow. We are here for you as fellow learners in our faith as we strive together, to support one and other and live as Jesus taught us. We are here to celebrate with you the gift God has given us in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
- Come any way and learn about who Jesus is with us!
- You are welcome to come and learn more about our community and church. Staff welcome one-on-one conversations and questions about Christianity and Lutheranism. Please feel free to contact our church office to arrange a time to meet.
- This is Where you should come!
- We are invitational to those who have not yet accepted Christ as Savior. You will find us a very non-judgmental people recognizing that it is only by the Grace of God that lives are changed. No perfect people allowed, we are very real, quick to love, quick to forgive, quick to serve.
- You are most welcome to come, to experience the love of God here, and to discover the joy of his people. Furthermore, we offer a course, Who Is Jesus, Anyway? designed specifically with you in mind--encouraging you to ask your own questions and providing a safe space to explore eight life-defining questions.
- Everyone is welcome
