| description | Visitation and discipleship: the forgotten duo in retaining newly baptized members. Currently, high apostasy rates and low member retention reveal weaknesses in the church's discipleship methods. Although attention is paid to the number of baptisms and concern is expressed about the number of departures, there is limited interest in retaining members after baptism. In this context, the present study analyzes the relationship between pastoral visitation and discipleship as determining factors in the retention of newly baptized Adventist parishioners in the Cajamarca A district, North Peruvian Conference, during the period 2021–2022. The research was conducted using a non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational design with a non-probabilistic sample of 181 participants. The results demonstrate a direct and significant relationship between the systematic practice of visitation, effective discipleship, and increased participation of the congregation in church activities. Together, these elements create a spiritual environment of accompaniment and support that strengthens faithfulness, promotes integration, and motivates new believers to remain active in church life. |

Visitación y discipulado: el binomio olvidado en la retención de los recién bautizados. En la actualidad, la alta tasa de apostasía y la baja retención de miembros evidencian debilidades en el método de discipulado practicado por la iglesia. Aunque se presta atención al número de bautismos y se expresa preocupación por las cifras de deserción, el interés por la permanencia de los miembros después del bautismo resulta limitado. En este contexto, el presente estudio analiza la relación entre visitación pastoral y discipulado como factores determinantes en la permanencia de los feligreses adventistas recién bautizados en el distrito de Cajamarca A, ANOP, durante el período 2021–2022. La investigación se desarrolló bajo un diseño no experimental, transversal y de tipo correlacional, con una muestra no probabilística conformada por 181 participantes. Los resultados demuestran una relación directa y significativa entre la práctica sistemática de la visitación, el discipulado efectivo y el incremento de la participación de la feligresía en actividades eclesiásticas. En conjunto, estos elementos generan un entorno espiritual de acompañamiento y apoyo que fortalece la fidelidad, promueve la integración y motiva la permanencia activa de los nuevos creyentes en la vida de la iglesia.
