Church Membership Cards
Posted by Mike Boyink
The most important component of this concept is that you’re gathering demographic information from the people who makeup your church. The pastor I met with actually has his congregation fill out a form EVERY week that asks all the demographic questions. He bases his questions around the same info that the city his church is in uses to measure the demographics of the city/county. This way he can make sure his church lines up with the city they are serving. Hello!
The church I grew up in used to pass those “membership tablets” every week. To me it always seemed like a silly waste of time, off-putting to visitors, and these days the fewer organizations collecting valuable “demographic data” about me the better.
How about you - would you be willing to swipe a “membership card” every week to help the church figure it’s place in the world out, or would it seem overly intrusive? Does it try to limit God’s ability to send just the right people, at just the right time?
