Re: Blended Churches - Video on FB
my previous church envisioned 5 layers of commitment:
The core: Those who have obeyed the gospel and are faithful in attendance and tithes.
The committed: Those who have obeyed the gospel, are mature members, and are growing.
The congregation: Church members who have obeyed the gospel and are beginning the discipleship process
The crowd: Regular Sunday morning attendees who have not yet obeyed the gospel
The community: Those who attend occasionally, those who are in driving distance of the church.
***********
The goals is to teach discipleship/membership classes to bring people into the Core membership group while making all those who are growing toward maturity feel loved and accepted. basically, standard specifics are not preached/taught outside of discipleship classes.
