Please block off January 10-11, 2026 on your calendars now to be a part of the Welcoming Church Seminar with Jon Reed! As a church, we will learn crucial skills such as Putting on Guest “Glasses”, How to Attract Guests, and How to Follow-Up With Guests. Southwest wants to be a church that creates disciples of Jesus, so we look forward to Jon’s coaching on reaching out to guests!
