Find the Perfect Plan to Transform Your Church’s First Impressions
At First Impressions Academy, we provide three comprehensive plans to equip your church with the tools and training needed to create welcoming and meaningful experiences for every guest. Whether you’re laying the foundation, looking to deepen your impact, or ready to lead with excellence, our plans are designed to meet your church’s unique needs.
Establish Plan
Lay the Foundation for a Welcoming Church Family
The Establish Plan gives you the essential tools to build a strong hospitality ministry. You’ll receive private access to the First Impressions CoLAB, 12 foundational modules through the First Impressions P.A.T.H., and one-on-one guidance through a MAP (Monthly Action Plan) Launch Call. With 24/7 access for one person, this plan is ideal for churches just starting their journey in guest services, providing everything you need to create a welcoming atmosphere for new visitors.
Empower Plan

The Empower Plan builds on the Establish Plan by offering advanced resources to help you strengthen your guest ministry. In addition to everything in the Establish Plan, you’ll gain access to Live Group Workshops, Monthly Live Coffee Chats, and the Level Up Training Series. You’ll also unlock the VIP Vault with the Top 10 sessions from the First Impressions Conference and extend access to up to 5 team members. Plus, you’ll participate in a Monthly Mastermind with a coach, complete with 15 minutes of Q&A to address your church’s specific needs.
Elevate Plan
Lead with Excellence and Maximize Your Growth Potential
For churches ready to transform their guest experience into a ministry of powerful outreach, the Elevate Plan provides top-tier access to exclusive content and personalized coaching. You’ll receive everything in the Empower Plan, plus Private Access to Coach’s Corner, the Accelerate Training Series, and the VIP Vault’s Top 100 sessions from the First Impressions Conference.
