We believe that church growth is a vital part of the will and plan of God for His people. Based upon natural, biological facts and processes, we come to the clear conclusion that ultimately, “Anything living grows!” It’s upon that premise that we approach the Lord in faith, from His hand receive vision, and by His grace pursue that vision with a single eye and with a whole heart. Vision is what motivates God’s leaders and provides the impetus for church outreaches and advancement. The Bible declares that “Without a vision the people perish (are unrestrained)”, (Prov 29:18). When God’s vision is embraced by the church leadership, and when it is articulated properly to God’s people, the results may not be automatic or instant, but they will be certain - the local church will advance, and the people of God will be involved and fulfilled. Thus, church growth comes about as a result of the following contributing factors:
- Spirit Led Prayer
- Christ-Exalting Worship, (John 12:32)
- Supernatural Power
- Servant Leaders
- Kingdom Family Relationships
- Passion for the Lost
- Maturation of the Believers
- A Kingdom of Priests
- Strong, Flexible Church Structure
- A God-Size Vision
