Church Growthcoming Of Age, Elmer Towns
Church Growthcoming Of Age, Elmer Towns
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

Towards A Church Growth Agenda For The 1990'S, Eddie Gibbs
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
The Church Growth Movement in North America is now fifteen Years old and these two days represent the occasion of the fourth annual meeting of the North American Society for Church Growth.
