Assimilation for Growth

How is assimilation in your church? Win Arn lists eight characteristic of what he calls an "incorporated member."
1. New members should be able to list at least seven new friends they have made in the church. (These friendships could be and often are with other new members.)
2. New members should be able to identify their spiritual gifts.
3. New members should be involved in at least one (preferably several) roles/tasks/ministries in the church, appropriate to their spiritual gifts.
4. New member should be actively involved in a small fellowship (face-to-face) group. Many churches keep their new member groups together indefinitely.
5. New members should demonstrate a regular financial commitment to the church.
6. New members should personally understand and identify with the goals of the church.
7. New members should attend worship services regularly.
8. New members should identify unchurched friends and relatives and take specific steps to help them toward responsible church membership.
