"When are you available to meet?"

For church leaders, finding a meeting time that works for everyone - whether it is a staff check-in, a worship team rehearsal, or a Bible study planning session - can feel like a part-time job in itself.

Many churches put significant effort into welcoming first-time visitors. Even so, it is common for visitors to attend once and not return.
