Church Secret Shopper

Have you ever wondered what the church feels like to the outsider who comes for the first time? Now the Church Secret Shopper can help answer that for you.

Would you like to receive the following?

• An analytic dissection of your preaching that can help you communicate the Word better and more effectively?
• An understanding of how the church's music is perceived by the guests?
• A view of our ministry to children through the eyes of a 32-year single mom who does not know God and the eyes of a 38-year old couple with children, all of whom know God?
• A thorough review of the culture of prayer as it exists at our church?
• Help in developing an understanding of a church culture for young families? Help in passing that understanding on to key lay and staff leaders?
• Help for developing a culture of change without upsetting the apple cart?

“Having known Dick for the past 9 years, I am confident you will find him a man of integrity who is committed to the local church. If the church or organization you are leading is looking for concepts that can help take you to the next level, you would do well to contact Dick and see how The Hardy Group can help you." John Lindell, Lead Pastor James River Assembly

• A definition of the roles of the board and staff relative to mission, core values, goals and strategies to achieve all of the above?
• An increased understanding and appreciation for the development of our volunteer leader core? Thinking on how to grow that group?
• A way to communicate to staff and volunteers the critical nature of the care of the church's physical plant and property?
• An articulation of how the service flows?
• A sense for the feel of the current people who attend the church and how that feel is translated to guests of the church?
• Having an outside resource with 30 years of ministry experience train and mobilize greeters and ushers?
• An understanding of the best and most cost-effective use of media, technology, sound, light and color on the church's website and in the weekend services?
• Without having to be a security guard or a CPA, be able to know what the best practices are in church security and the handling of money?
• An ability to communicate to parents your diligence in providing for the security of their children? And to continue to improve in this area?
• A sense that you are really using your sanctuary space well?
• An outsider's view on staff relationships?

Would you find it valuable to have a game-plan summary articulating first steps to improving the Sunday morning experience for everyone? The Hardy Group will provide just that for you!

Dick will make a Sunday on-site visit reviewing your weekend services and be your Church Secret Shopper. The benefits you receive will increase the church's retention of guests.
