Kevin and Thom look at a common issue facing many churches: low commitment of church members. They take you on a three-part journey that both explains the reasons for the low commitment and ways your church can move to higher commitments. In this third of three episodes, they explain how to move church members to higher commitment.
1. The process to move members to higher commitment may take longer than you expect.
2. Be prepared to lose some members.
3. The new member class is critical.
4. Groups are critical.
5. The challenge is to move church members from entitlement to service.
