Email permission
Next step
Send a personal welcome and connect Alex with the small-groups leader.
The gap happens after the hello
A pastor or ministry leader cannot speak with every guest before they leave. Keep what each guest shared on their connection card with their contact details so someone from your team can follow up personally afterward.
A connected handoff
Know why a guest reached out before you respond.
When someone asks about small groups, baptism, volunteering, or another part of church life, Engage Spot keeps what they shared with their contact information and communication choices.

More than one welcome message
Let what a guest shared shape what happens next.
Not every guest needs the same message. Their connection card can show whether they have a question, want prayer, or are interested in a group, baptism, or volunteering.
First-time guest
Say thank you, answer a question, or offer a simple way to get connected.
Prayer request
Let staff read what the person shared so they can respond with care and discretion.
Ministry interest
Connect someone interested in groups, serving, baptism, or membership with the right leader.
