Vine Church uses name tags, Hunter Bible Church does not. In this episode Toby Neal (Vine Church) and Dave Moore (Hunter Bible Church) face off in a debate about whether name tags are helpful in church.
Arguments for:

Follow up: Having a check in process helps to get new people's contact details and helps with the followup process after Sunday
Pastoral care: Name tags can be used to see attendance and help reach out to people if they aren’t turning up to church
Arguments against:
It adds a step of complexity to people coming into church
If you train a good welcoming team, you don’t need name tags
It can make church feel like a corporate event when it should be a relational environment
