Assimilation strategies
My ministry responsibilities at church are changing a bit. I'm also being put in charge of our 'Assimilation Strategy'. How do we bring new people into the church, get them involved with ministry, into a small group, etc.? I've got a number of ideas that I'm working on.
We need to review our strategies for our greeters/ushers. If they're not codified, they should be. We need 2 sets of greeters; one at the door to the auditorium to pass our bulletins, help people find seats, etc. The second group needs to be at the entrance to the school. Regulars should be greeted by name. New people shoud be met, welcomed and escorted into the auditorium.
We need to do a 'mystery shopper' like restaurants do 2-3 times a year to see how newcomers feel at our service and what their impressions of our service are.
All cards for new people need to be followed up within 48 hours.
We are also putting together a 'mentor program' which matches mature believers with new believers for a period of time to introduce them further to the faith and do some discipling with them.
More ideas to come
