By Chimezie Marcellinus

Have you ever wondered why a very high percentage of the visitors who walk into your church are not retained? Are you tired of watching people come and go without any reasonable commitment to the church? Do you wish you could have an operational Church System that will not only help you win souls into the church but also help you retain them spontaneously? This book is actually for you!Having new visitors every single week does not grow your Church. The number one growth problem of the 21st Century Church is not "Evangelism" or that new people don't visit the Church. The number one growth problem of the 21st century Church revolves round the inability of the Church to Retain Visitors and turn them to be the committed champions of the Church mission. The strength of the Evangelism System of your Church decides the number of your weekly church visitors, but the strength of the Assimilation System of your church decides how many of the visitors remain in the church.This book will help you address the prevalent weaknesses of your church and create action plan for visitors retention and growth. In order to help you grow your church, there are eight (8) important questions this book will help you answer:1. Why has my church not been growing as expected?2. Why is the EXIT door of my church open?3. Why is the ENTRANCE door of my church closed?4. Why are visitors not retained?5. Why do people come to church?6. Why do people leave church?7. What keeps Church visitors coming back and committed?8. What must I do to drive result oriented Evangelism, increase visitors retention and achieve practical growth? THE TWO INVISIBLE DOORS OF YOUR CHURCH This book is practically developed to equip you with the step-by-step knowledge on how to regulate the two invisible doors of your church that decides her stability. Church fails to grow for two possible reasons, namely:1. New people don't come to the church. This is as a result of the closed Entrance door.2. New people come to the church but they are not retained. This is as a result of the opened Exit door.NOTE: To grow your church, you must learn how to regulate these two doors in order to create balance in your church, and that is the goal of this book. This book will help you develop a practical approach to increase your church visitors and to retain them.Remember...1. When the entrance and the exit doors of your church are wide open, your church becomes a free passage where people come through the entrance and walk out through the exit door of the church without any form of resistance.2. When the entrance and the exit doors are closed, your church becomes a stagnated church that neither receives nor gives away. No church at this condition grows.3. When the exit door is wide open and the entrance door is closed, the church dies off overtime. This is the fastest way of killing a church.4. When the entrance door is open and the exit is reasonably closed, your church grows. To grow your church you must bring your church to this state. And this book is designed to help you do just that.The first part of this book is designed to help you develop a strong Assimilation System for your church. It is a step by step approach on how to retain visitors and turn ordinary attendees of the church to be committed champions of the church mission. The only difference between fast growing churches and crawling churches is that, fast growing churches know how to keep visitors coming and to keep them committed; while crawling churches do nothing but hope that visitors will return even when they do nothing to support their coming back.The second part of this book is designed to help you develop a viable Small Group System that will help you turn the growth of the church from being the church's thing to being the people's thing.
