About this episode

The episode discusses how to effectively welcome newcomers to the church through a structured conversation led by the senior pastor.

At Kellyville Anglican in Sydney, newcomers sit down with the senior pastor. Pete Hughes talks with Dave Kuen about "Newish", a conversation designed to help newcomers understand the church, ask questions, and take their next step. Dave explains how it fits into Kellyville's wider welcoming pathway, the importance of newcomer triage, and why he believes this is something worth personally owning as a senior pastor.
