Closing the Back Door of Your Church > Seyi Oladimeji

Getting people in the front door of your church is not the end rather the beginning. A research shows that only 12 percent of first-time visitors returned the following Sunday or eventually became members. Your church may have an outreach ministry, a visitation ministry, maybe even an “in-reach” ministry designed to follow-up on lapsed members. But do you have a clear plan for involving people in the life of the church? That is the Assimilation question; and many Churches are struggling with new-member assimilation because they have no effective plan for it. The goal of assimilation is connecting people to other people in growing Christian relationships in the church. Discover in this book: · Why people don’t stay in the Church· How to develop an Effective Assimilation System· Proven Assimilation Strategies for the 21st Century Church· And the practical step you can take to effectively close the back door of your church
