All churches need to turn visitors into attenders. Use these assessments to measure some of the aspects of that task. First, focus on the community of your church-measure whether or not it is open and inviting. Then, take aim at the atmosphere you create-make sure you're doing all you can to welcome newcomers and connect them into the life of your church. These articles will help you understand some key aspects to retaining members.

I am very disppointed with this download. I thought I was getting some really good articles and ideas. I ddin't realise that it was just a tick yes or no rating basically. On rereading,I see that at the top it says 'assessments' It does say 'these articles'. I don't consider these to be articles. Definitely disappointing.
