Abstrakt

Large congregations can be most effective and faithful in assimilating new members when they discover the church as the embodiment of the people of God and the Body of Christ and rediscover the church in mission and outreach. The author came to these conclusions after a biblical study of the church, a review of the historical models of the church and an examination of the reasons why people join and leave the church. The assimilation process means building committed members. It should be structured to include invitation, greeting, orientation, incorporation and sending forth.
