Many churches dropped membership classes during the pandemic. Now is the time to restart them. In fact, church membership classes are more important than ever. On this episode, Thom and Sam discuss several reasons why churches must keep providing these classes post-COVID.
- These classes help minimize church conflict with front-end teaching.
- Volunteerism is down. Increase the quality of volunteers with a membership class.
- Potential members are now less inclined to push back on attending a class.
- People need to re-establish habits as we emerge from the pandemic.
- With COVID, managing expectations is critical.
