Toolkit
Membership and Next Steps
Help a guest become someone who belongs, one clear step at a time.
Start with the path from guest to member
Then decide what you will ask of members, and plan the follow-up before your first class.

This kit is about one thing: how a person who walked in as a guest comes to belong. It is a path. Each step has a clear next step after it, and someone there to help a person take it. Work through it in this order:
- Read Resource 1 and settle why belonging matters in your church.
- Lay out the path from first visit to membership using Resource 2. It includes what to teach in each step of the class.
- Write down what you ask of members using Resource 3.
- Plan the follow-up using Resource 4, before your first class runs.
Four resources:
- Why Belonging Matters
- The Path From Guest to Member
- What We Ask of Members
- After the Class
The path
