The author developed a ministry which would aid the process of assimilating new members into the Annistown Road Baptist Church of Lithonia, Georgia. Factors impacting assimilation were determined. A ministry was designed. A group of sponsors was enlisted and trained. A test of the ministry was conducted. Evaluation of the ministry was performed by means of descriptive survey methodology, simple statistical analysis, and critical pastoral reflection. New members who had been sponsored showed a statistically significant increase (p = less than .1) in assimilation for three of the seven indicators tested. The director concluded that involvement in the ministry enhanced assimilation.
