Recently we began a "membership class" at our church. We ask each prospective member to attend the 5 week orientation before joining. So far, I have been very pleased with the class. Every person who has joined after attending has been very committed and seems to have a good understanding of our church's mission. At the same time, I think the class has also helped prevent some people from joining who would never have been committed in the long run.
All of this makes me curious to hear about everyone else's membership process. How many of you utilize some sort of class? Is it for prospective members or new members? What topics do you cover? What kind of commitment is asked for?
Does someone have a way to orient new people without using a class? What are the pro's and cons?
I am anxious to hear everyone's thoughts and hopefully get some good ideas and insight.
