People Will Stay if . . .


Leadership, IV, 3, p. 46

90% of new members will stay in the church if:

(1) They can articulate their faith (implies need for membership and evangelism classes).

(2) They belong to subgroups (i.e. choir, Bible Studies, Sunday School classes, etc.).

(3) They have 4-8 close friendships within the church.
