First I look at the church's entry points
- Are all prospects, especially first time guests, intentionally connected to a specific group for specific steps of follow-up? "All" means guests who attend worship, other adult ministry or church-wide events, parents of children and youth who attended an event, or someone who has been discovered through other means.
- Are new church members expected to connect to the small group or Sunday School group? If so, how is this done?
- Do other ministries feed out of the hub? Is this the place where leaders are developed and sent out? Is this the place where adults mature so the church can continue to move in the right direction?
- Do missions, ministry and evangelistic activities connect to the hub--before and after the event. When activities are planned, is the hub involved? How is the hub involved after the activities are completed?
