GROWS HIS CHURCH no matter what the circumstances...
About Church Growth #1
- Growth does not always make a congragation bigger. #2 - Growth requires that while we proact on a human level, we allow God to be in full control. Our plans must be saturated in prayer and our techniques rooted in devotion to God. Chruch Growth is God's business, because the church is HIS body. #3 - Church growth can not be pursued in a direct, hand-on manner like the way we raise money or staff Sunday school classes. Instead, growth is an indirect by-product of the church's spiritural health...BUT... #4 - Church size and church health are not necessarily correlated. Not all growning churches are spiritually healthy, nor do all spiritually healthy churhes grow in great number. #5 - Though churches should be administrated in a business-like manner, they should not be run like a business. Similar to a corporation, churches are growth-oriented but they must avoid the corporate lifestyle of hard-nose competition, slick marketing and end-justifies-the-means mentality. #6 - Most growing churches don't really know why they are growing. Is it due to their great facilities? if so, why do so many chruches lacking great facilities grow? If growth is attributed to dynamic preaching, they why do so many churches with "average" evangelists grow?
