So far in this series we've looked at using registrations (forms) for Connection Cards, New Members Class, and Membership Commitment. Most churches expect fully engaged members to be part of a small group where they belong and grow; and that they will serve somewhere using their talents and spiritual gifts. That's why we included small group and serving questions in the membership form.
In a perfect world members stay engaged in groups and serving, but in the real world they don't. You need on-ramps for these members and for regular attenders who prefer to engage before they join.
