How can we make church "new comer" friendly?

How can we help make church welcoming for the new comer? I've been thinking about how to lead church. I generally begin with a famous challenging quote by a Christian related to the talk and also talking about my weekend, however I know I have a long way to go and can use all the help I can get. I was at a conference recently and they talked about the massive increase in church growth we would see if all those who visited our churches were well received, looked after, welcomed and became part of the congregation.

 Firstly,I believe it's helpful to disarm there presumptions about the narrow mindedness or closed nature of a church community by showing them our openness and approachableness, in engaging in all issues and sharing humbly what we believe, seeking to do this without using words that Cannot be given the ample time to be unpacked. Secondly, we should be clear on our focus on Jesus and our mission of His gospel being proclaimed and transforming by God's Spirit. Thirdly, we should be Genuinely welcoming and show a genuine interest in wanting to find out what their beliefs, doubts and experiences are. Heres matt chandlers standard welcome at His church, the village, in the states. He welcomes with this, and later comes back on to preach:


“Good Morning. My name is Matt Chandler I am the Lead Pastor/Teaching Pastor here at The Village. If this is your first time visiting with us I want to welcome you. I am guessing that if this is your first time here you are in one of two lanes. The first lane is that you are a believer with a background in church and you’re new to the area or are just checking out our community. If at some point in the next hour or so your heart and mind are moved and you want to know more about us, you can fill out one of the cards in the seatback in front of you and either drop it in the joy boxes or, and this would be our preference, walk across the parking lot to the white portable buildings and there are some men and women over there that can answer any of the questions you might have about the church. The second lane is that you’re here today and you aren’t a Christian and don’t have a background in Church or not a recent one anyway. I want to welcome you. This is a safe place for you to have some doubts about what we are saying to be skeptical and curious. There are no doors that are closed for you here so explore as much as you want. Go to a home group, check out Recovery, help us mentor local students, hop on a plane to South America or Africa and help us, help others. As a former agnostic myself, I have a great deal of respect for the genuine seeker. If we can help answer any of your questions or serve you in anyway let us know.”
