5-Star Follow up

By Tim MooreChurch, Vision

One of the biggest questions we have wrestled with regarding new converts is, “How do we help them take their Next Step once they make a commitment to Christ?”  We have seen almost 170 people make commitments to Christ since launching here Lithopolis.  (That is only the people who have told us, I believe there are more)  We realized early on that we must be responsible to not only help them cross the line of faith but to take their next step as a Christ-follower.

One thing we implemented about a year ago was the creation of a Next Step to give anyone makes a commitment to Christ.  In this kit, we give them a Bible with simple reading plan to get them started, a DVD of a message I preached on Baptism, some cards talking about the essentials of The Bible, Jesus, a relationship with God and more, a journal, and a letter from me congratulating them and helping them take another step.

I think we have done a good job putting together something on a dime.  But we want to make this entire process a little more strategic.

Here are some of the things we want to do to make sure each new believer has every opportunity to make the Next Step.

  • Revamping Guest Services to be more than just an information table, but rather people who call and follow-up with people who get a Next Step personally.
  • We have plans to get a more professional looking box and materials to give out in this kit.  (This portion is very costly and we can’t do it yet)
  • Creating Next Step small groups where people can attend for several weeks and begin to develop a good foundation for their faith.
  • Trying to develop a process to help us capture their stories either on video or written shortly after the moment of salvation.
  • Developing a process to help encourage them to take the next step toward baptism and joining a small group.

These are some of the ideas we have and are currently working on.  If anyone has any thoughts or things we could do to help new Christ-followers take that Next Step, I’d love to hear them.
