“Strengthening Churches, Empowering God’s People,
Expanding God’s Kingdom”
Although the Bible does not specifically address church growth, the principle of church growth is the understanding that Jesus said, “I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it” (Matthew 16:18). Paul confirmed that the church has its foundation in Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:11). Jesus Christ is also the head of the church (Ephesians 1:18-23) and the church’s life (John 10:10); having said that, it should be remembered that “growth” can be a relative term. There are different kinds of growth, some of which have nothing to do with numbers.
Growth of any kind follows a typical pattern. As with a growing organism, the local church has those who plant the seed (Evangelists), those who water the seed (Pastor/Teachers), and others who use their spiritual gifts for the growth of those in the local church. But note that it is God who gives the increase (1 Corinthians 3:7). Those who plant and those who water will each receive their own reward according to their labor (1 Corinthians 3:8).
We, at Church Growth Ministries, Inc., believe that God wants your church to grow…to bring people from darkness to light! While there are many good things a church can do, and there are some things a church should do, there is only one thing a church must do pursue Christ’s great commission to go and make disciples.
If you share this conviction that the church is God’s primary instrument to love and reach the world…we can help you move forward toward realizing that God-given potential.
