Radical Hospitality: Creating a culture of welcome in the church (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798296532589)

Radical Hospitality: Creating a culture of welcome in the church

What if the key to church growth isn't just better programs, louder music, or trendier sermons-but radical, Christ-like hospitality?

In Radical Hospitality, author Robby Lybrand brings together his unique blend of ministry experience and a career in the hospitality industry to offer a fresh, practical, and deeply spiritual look at how churches can embrace hospitality as a core ministry. This isn't about greeters at the door or coffee in the lobby; it's about creating a culture where every person, visitor or long-time member, feels seen, valued, and wanted.

Through personal stories, biblical insights, and hands-on strategies, Radical Hospitality equips church leaders, volunteers, and everyday disciples to:

• Reimagine hospitality as a spiritual practice and a form of evangelism

• Identify, train, and empower hospitality-minded volunteers

• Examine the full worship experience, from parking lot to pew, to remove barriers to belonging

• Move from transactional friendliness to transformational connection

• Live out the welcome of Jesus in every part of congregational life

Whether you're leading a large church or a small congregation, this book will inspire and equip you to create a welcoming community where people don't just attend, they belong.
