- W170552011 abstract "EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ASSIMILATION STRATEGIES OF THE CHURCHES OF CHRIST IN CHRISTIAN UNION: CLOSING THE BACK DOOR OF THE CHURCH by Earl Ralph Hux The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of evangelism, assimilation, and discipleship strategies of ten churches of The Churches of Christ in Christian Union. Organized focus groups from selected churches at various points of historical development explored their discipleship models and methods utilized in spiritual formation of new converts documented and reported as members gained by profession of faith. Many churches assume all new converts become functional and contributing members of local congregations and further assume that their approach to evangelism is effective and has positive results. These ten focus groups revealed effective and ineffective assimilation and discipleship strategies among a sampling of congregations of The Churches of Christ in Christian Union. Insights and observations gained from this effort are very important and necessary for the denomination’s studies and for other congregations and denominations that may be experiencing similar productive growth challenges. This evaluation is a qualitative study. The focus group interviews took place on location, and as researcher I stimulated and motivated discussion, interaction, and group dynamics among leaders and lay leaders of the participating churches. Information pertaining to the congregations’ perceptions of effectiveness and ineffectiveness resulted from the discussion among the members of the focus groups. The findings of this study disclosed methods of evangelism, assimilation, and discipleship among churches with members gained by profession of faith from a selected sample of congregations of The Churches of Christ in Christian Union.
