- Abstract
- An assimilation program was tested on one congregation over a one-year period. A significant percentage increase in the membership rate and assimilation rate of newcomers was projected. A control was developed by analyzing three consecutive years of assimilation data on church attendance, giving, small group and ministry involvement of all new visitors. Similar data was collected on all new visitors in the test period. A comparison showed a 33 per cent increase in both the membership rate and assimilation rate of newcomers. Both hypotheses were probably confirmed. Some anomalies were seen in the results. Suggestions for improving the assimilation plan are included.
