Someone on the church-planting team should meet with the newcomers, find out their history and the reasons for coming, and get permission to contact their former church.

Contact their former church and find out under what conditions they left. Cooperate with their former church when it is a case of church discipline.

Ask the would-be new members what they are looking for in a church and what their core beliefs and values are. Lay out the beliefs, values, and vision of your work and see if there is alignment.

Regardless of their experience and maturity, do not move them into places of influence or leadership rapidly. Rather invite them to work and serve in simple ways. Watch for a humble, cooperative, submissive spirit.

If their motives are good, make them feel welcome and help them make the transition into a small group and ministry. Make sure someone in the church, or on the team, builds a relationship of trust with them, encourages them, and helps them find their place in the family.
