Through the Welcoming Congregation program, Igniting Ministry celebrates and recognizes the efforts of local congregations that actively and intentionally prepare to welcome newcomers and change the congregation's lifestyle.

The first year of the program offers basic areas that a congregation can improve their hospitality, and each successive year builds upon the basics to help transform a church's welcoming lifestyle in the course of four years. Churches that successfully complete the requirements for all four years will become welcoming models that demonstrate how churches are living our promise of

"Open hearts. Open minds. Open doors."
