I realize that you may not have the time to answer this.  That is fine.  I understand.  

Our church began in 2010.  We are a covenant membership church.  I am an elder in our church, and I have absolutely no problem with the covenant, and I think that it is very good.

Here is my question:  What do you do, if anyhing, to embrace those regular attenders who have not yet reached enough spiritual maturity to feel the need or desire to commit to the covenant membership?

Is there anything wrong with creating a sub-group of folks called something like "Friends of XXXX Church" ....doing this in hopes that they will feel a part and will some day grow to the point that they want to be a part of the covenant membership.

Just curious.
