CHURCH GROWTH
1. Focused churches work from a clear statement of purpose. 2. The best church boards do not serve their church – they serve their communities through the church. 3. Growing churches minister to people’s needs. 4. Biblical churches wrestle with the tension of motivating members to do what they ought to do in contrast to what people want to do about their responsibilities to God and others. 5. Friendly churches extend friendship to everyone. 6. Effective churches treat their members as adults. 7. Powerful churches persuade people who want to minister that they can do it. 8. Strong churches also provide a variety of ways to do evangelism. 9. Godly churches know their greatest asset in doing God’s work isn’t programs, but people. 10. Vital churches not only take people in – they include people in. From Denver Seminary Magazine, June 1990
