Race to Reach Out

Coyner and Anderson believe that to assimilate newcomers into the life and ministry of the congregation, the whole church system must be involved. They show how to identify and respond to visitors in a nonthreatening, yet interested way; how to share information about them with leaders of ministries and programs that would interest them most; how to help them in their decision to become church members; and how to help them understand and fulfill their own call to ministry in the congregation.
