Abstract

The purpose of this project was to develop a new member assimilation strategy for Burra Baptist Church in Burra, Shetland, Scotland. I began the project by exploring internal demographics of Burra Baptist to discover trends in membership assimilation. I used the church roll book as a principal source for historical information and a survey for members who joined the church in the last ten years. I then explored existing models of church membership assimilation to determine best practices for Burra Baptist. I explored literature in church assimilation and produced an annotated bibliography. I then created an executive summary of best practices. The next step of the project was to develop a church membership assimilation strategy for Burra Baptist. To do this, I recruited and trained a strategy planning team. We met for four sessions to review the prepared information and then to create a new member assimilation strategy. After the strategy was created, I shared a presentation of the strategy with the Burra Baptist Leadership Team for consideration and approval.
