Many church staff and place leaders know they need to start participant classes as a point of entry to their churches but don’t know how. This book is based on a national study of effective churches and shows how growing churches execute participant classes and inspire their participants into ministry. Account Matters is designed to be considered a guide for church leaders wanting to begin or improve a membership class. It offers models for classes and types of resources such as church covenants, category schedules, and lessons outlines. In addition, it gives direction on motivating uninvolved participants to take part in ministry. One chapter chronicles an ongoing dialogue among pastors of growing churches that are effectively motivating participants to do ministry.
