Understanding the Principles of Church Growth
In these increasingly post-Christian and postmodern days, there is a virtual illiteracy not only about the historical or factual content of the church but also about theological growth. But this is also the age of the information explosion, and many people are not satisfied with knowing more about growth theology. In every instance, an attempt has been made to emphasize the theological significance rather than focus on the historical, social, geographical, or biographical elements involved. Understanding the Principles of Church Growth is designed as a descriptive account of how membership and leadership think about the principles of church growth as they are taught in Christian ministry and ministerial counselling.
Based upon research, this study’s purpose is largely diagnostic, so that teachers, clergy, and all who are involved in ministerial excellence may see more clearly the problems of and opportunities in church growth.
