Our Membership process queue has three steps. Each campus Process Queue follows the exact same steps to keep the information shown on member profiles consistent.

<aside> ➡️ Members join Grace Bible Church, not one campus.

1. Attend Discover Membership Class
2. New Member Interview
3. Approved for Membership

Attend Discover Membership Class

Because the class registration form automatically adds anyone who registers to the Membership queue, we ask each individual to complete the form separately. You should manually add unregistered walk-ins at the class to the Membership queue.

• Once someone has attended a Discover Membership class, mark them as “Done” in this queue and use the date of the class as the “Date Completed.”

  • Please include in the notes of the queue (Attend Discover Membership Class) information about the class they attended.

    Example: “Attended Discover Membership class on Feb 5, 2023 at Anderson”

• If someone from another campus attends a membership class at your campus, please do not put them in your campus process queue. If they were automated to your process queue, please remove them and add them to the campus they attend process queue in the first queue "Attend Discover Membership Class". Please make sure you "pass" them along to the campus manager/admin so they know they have been added to the queue.

  • Example: Stacey Perron attended the membership class at Anderson. She goes to Midtown and ONLY needs to be in the Midtown Membership process queue.

New Member Interview

• Everyone in this queue needs to complete a New Member Interview with a Campus Elder.
• Once someone completes the interview, mark them as “Done” in this queue and use the date of their interview as the “Date Completed.”

  • Please add notes for the "New Member Interview" queue as well.

    Example: “Interviewed with Johnny Stimson on Dec 4, 2022; recommended for Membership”

Approved for Membership

• Everyone in this queue has completed the class requirement and the New Member Interview with a Campus Elder. They now need to be included in the Campus Emails at the end of the month to officially become a member.
  • There could be a few people in their queue who have completed the previous steps but are pending for various reasons (baptism, videos, waiting on a spouse, etc.). Make sure you review the notes before including them in the Campus Emails.
  • Scan in completed paperwork and attach it to their profile on CCB as “Membership Paperwork.pdf”
• Once they have been in the campus emails, mark them as “Done” in this queue and use the date of the Campus Email as the “Date Completed.”

  • Please add notes for the "Approved for Membership" queue as well.

    Example: “Approved for membership in campus email Nov 30, 2023”

  • Add their membership start date to their profile. This is how we create reports and follow up with members.

• Once they are marked “Done” in the Membership process queue, their Membership Type will automatically be updated to "Member" in their profile.
  • Scan and attach their membership paperwork to their profile. Please name it “Membership Paperwork”.
• The last VERY important step is to add their membership start date. This is how we create reports and follow up with members. Please do not forget this step.
  • The Membership Start Date should be the date their name was included in the Campus Emails.

<aside> ➡️ Notes should be entered for each queue in the process. Examples of what information to include are listed above under each step.
