CGM is a ministry committed to communicating the principles and strategies of church growth, and assumes each local church and larger church body will integrate these insights into their own particular theological paradigm. CGM believes that while theological convictions are an important part of the “growth mix” of a local church, it is not the role of an outside, Para-church organization to endorse or promote any one particular theological view.

CGM does, of course, subscribe to the basic tenets of the traditional Christian faith. None of the principles or strategies disseminated through CGM are in conflict or contradiction to the essential components of the Christian faith and doctrine of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life of all those who accept him as personal Lord and Savior. The only conviction that CGM requires of churches with whom it cooperates is the church’s commitment to follow Christ in his timeless “Great Commission” to go and make disciples.
