Read on for tangible evidences of our new outreach and community presence.
New Homeowner and Business Outreach
September marks the beginning of outreach to new homeowners having recently purchased a home or started a business within a four mile radius from First Baptist Nashville. We mail a welcome postcard to each new homeowner, including an offer for one parking pass to a Bridgestone Arena event other than Predator games.
Predator Game Outreach
Nashville Predator season begins soon, and one of our outreach efforts is to give a pair of Predator tickets and free parking for several of the games this season. We will make these giveaways through a local radio station. The recipient of each pair of tickets will also be joined by a staff member seated nearby, to welcome, share, assist, and get to know. It's yet another Building Bridges outreach tool.
Keep your eyes open for newcomers--we expect these tools will help us reach additional first-time guests, and you help by inviting friends, welcoming newcomers, and assisting people on campus you do not yet know. Be friendly. Offer your assistance. Encourage others with the great Christian and First Baptist Nashville hospitality you live out.
