Why Follow-Up Matters

Even small churches need a plan to care for people after they visit or make a decision for Christ. Without follow-up, people can easily be forgotten.

A simple system helps your team stay organized, build connection, and guide people toward spiritual growth.

Jesus didn't just call us to make converts-He called us to make disciples. That begins with intentional follow-up.

The Teínō Follow-Up System

Step 1: Capture the Contact

Use a tablet, form, or your phone to gather basic info from guests or those who respond to the message. Add them to the Teínō app, then tag and note them.

Step 2: Follow Up Within 24-48 Hours

Send a warm, timely message:

• Thank them for visiting
• Let them know the church cares
• Invite them to come back or get connected

Step 3: Assign Someone to Follow Up

Inside Teínō, assign each person to a team member (ideally same gender) for personal care.

• Follow up quickly
• Pray for them
• Add notes in the app

Step 4: A 4-Week Follow-Up Journey

• Week 1: Send a quick message or call, offer prayer
• Week 2: Invite to church or small group
• Week 3: Offer to meet or connect them with someone
• Week 4: Share a growth resource or next step

Step 5: Track Everything in Teínō

All notes and steps are saved, so nothing gets missed. Once someone finishes the journey, move them to "Growing" or "Discipleship".

Build a Small Follow-Up Team

You don't need a big team-just a few faithful people:

• Coordinator: Oversees the flow and assigns people
• Team Members: Do the follow-up and build relationships
• Prayer Support: Prays behind the scenes
• Admin: Helps with app setup and updates

How to Start This Sunday

Starting from scratch? Here's a simple plan:

• Ask 2-3 people to help
• Show them how to use Teínō (super simple)
• Start with your last 5 guests or new believers
• Meet for 15 minutes each week to check progress

What Makes Teínō Different

• ✅ Made just for churches
• ✅ Simple steps and team roles built in
• ✅ Tracks every guest from start to finish
• ✅ Works on any device
• ✅ Great for small and growing churches

Final Thought

If someone visited your home and you didn't follow up-they might not come back.

It's the same in church. Following up is how we show love and care.

And love always follows up.
