I’ve written before about how I believe church membership is Biblical AND practical. Unfortunately lots of churches do a poor job of raising its value to the people who attend each week.
In fact, I often get emails from pastors who are struggling to get people to go through their membership class and take that next step of commitment to a spiritual family.
Here’s one simple secret that will help you get more of your regular attenders to attend your membership class and cross the line to become members – but don’t tell anyone…
Promote multiple classes at the same time
That’s it! All it takes is a little pre-planning – instead of listing one membership class on the calendar… list two. And then adjust the way you promote the class.Here are the magic words:
Can I sign you up for the December or February class?
OK, so maybe I’m not sharing state secrets here, but you’ll be amazed at how many more people over time will go through your membership classes by making this simple change.
And just think – the more people who go through membership class, the more people will be stepping up their accountability, spiritual growth and commitment to your church!
P.S. If you’d like to pick up everything that we use at The Journey to plan, prepare, promote,implement, and follow up on Membership Classes, check out The Maximizing Membership Package.
