Here are some more steps that people go through as they are aligning with a local church:

Two – Curious
These are people who have had sufficient interest developed in their life that they will take the leap and join the fray. This group needs the challenge or inspiration to join the path way to changing the world and seeing their own lives changed.

Three - Recipients
It is necessary for people to be assimilated in your church to receive from the Church some degree of personal experience of God’s power in their life.

Four - Partners
These folks referred to your church as “their church.” They will volunteer and help some in your effort. But if it gets down to making a lasting commitment they aren’t ready for that yet.

Five - Investors
We would normally refer to these people as core people. They serve, give and referred to the church as “my church.”
