The Research Process:
Checklist
The steps below are offered as a guide, but
may not match your church's structure or way of decision-making. There
are several ways to implement an adoption within a church. This is one
suggested process which we have tried to make as generic as possible. It
is our hope that you will be able to adapt the suggested steps to fit your
situation.
