A Philosophy Of Worship And Church Growth, Byron Spadlin
A Philosophy Of Worship And Church Growth, Byron Spadlin
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
It seems very clear—from the Scriptural record, as well as the realities each of us face in daily ministry—that there exists the need to develop a conscious philosophy of how worship relates to the whole arena of church growth. To that end then, let me make some suggestions, not so much in offering something brand new, but by giving some broad stroke observations and principles.

Trends In Worship And Church Growth Into The 21st Century, Byron Spadlin
Trends In Worship And Church Growth Into The 21st Century, Byron Spadlin
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
As I have traveled, in this country and in others talking to numerous Christian leaders, and observing a number of different congregations, denominations and contexts, I believe the following major broad stroke trends regarding worship I believe can be anticipated by the churches and Christian communities around the world. 1. Controversy over worship styles will continue. 2. Diversity of Worship styles will increase. 3. Worship-based services will emerge and increase. 4. Inter-denominational and Regional Cooperation in worship events will increase. 5. Worship will be seen as Evangelism. 6. Evangelicals are experimenting with more formal liturgy and Orthodoxy. 7. Technology will …

Church Growth At The End Of The Twentieth Century: Recovering Our Purpose, Thom S. Ranier
Church Growth At The End Of The Twentieth Century: Recovering Our Purpose, Thom S. Ranier
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
The thesis of this paper is that a critical element is missing in much of church growth literature and practice today. Furthermore the viability of the movement and the health of churches across our land may very well depend upon our recovery of that missing element. The mysterious missing element is, simply stated, evangelism.

I present these evaluative thoughts about the first forty years of the Church Growth Movement, and especially the first twenty-five years of the movement in North America (1970- 1995), with the humility appropriate to one person’s perspective on so vast and diverse a phenomenon as that of the Church Growth Movement.

Core Values: Backbone Of A Movement, Kent R. Hunter
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
In the last 10 to 20 years, the Church Growth Movement has proliferated in at least three dimensions. First, the Movement has proliferated by topics. In the last decade or so, we have seen church growth leaders concentrate on mega-churches, metachurches, philosophy of ministry, understanding secular people, mission statements, the age wave, builders, boomers, busters, lifestyle evangelism, vision, change, small groups, Sunday Schools, breaking barriers, etc. In a second dimension, there has been proliferation in other ways. Not only was there the founding of the American Society for Church Growth, but there Church Growth Associations in other countries. In a …

Improving Our "Sink Or Swim" Training Model For Church Planters, Tom A. Steffen
Improving Our "Sink Or Swim" Training Model For Church Planters, Tom A. Steffen
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
Many of those sent out locally or internationally to plant churches have never planted a church or been involved in the process, worked on a team, or have been trained in crosscultural studies. This paper argues that we can do a much better job of preparing our church planters.
