The Theological Roots, Vision, And Contribution Of The Church Growth Movement, George Hunter
The Theological Roots, Vision, And Contribution Of The Church Growth Movement, George Hunter
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
In the 1970’s, Donald McGavran’s Church Growth movement emerged in the service of a powerful theological vision: to fulfill the ancient promise to Abraham—that all of the earth’s peoples would be blessed, and to fulfill Christ’s Great Commission—to reach, and make disciples, among the lost peoples of the earth. Church Growth’s people, however, have never “majored” in Constructive Theology. With most other Christians, we regard Christianity as a revealed (not an imagined) faith; most of us affirm the classical theology of the Church, with deep roots in the Scriptures and normative respect for the several ancient creeds. So Church Growth …

Here’S To Your Health: The Church Or The Kingdom? A Reflection For Emergent Church Leaders, Roger Helland
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
A pressing question for many pastors is what will help grow their church. But perhaps this question is based on faulty assumptions flowing from faulty theology. In his book, The Present Future, Reggie McNeal discusses the shift from church growth to Kingdom growth. To him the wrong question to ask is, “How do we grow this church?” That is, how do we get them to come to us?” This question, with its set of assumptions, is based on church thinking rather than kingdom thinking. Rather, the tough question is, “How do we transform our community?” He argues that we need …

Big Picture Curricula For Multiethnic Ministry, Tom A. Steffen
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
This article will propose a storied, big-picture approach to multiethnic ministry. It will advocate curriculum that builds a cathedral rather than isolated rooms. Before considering story-based, big-picture curricula I will first look at how the multiethnic church, and other types of churches, relates to the dominate theological themes of unity and diversity.

Missions theology begins with God's stated plan for history--the mission of God1--and may be traced by following the major statements of divine intention using the diachronic methodology of biblical theology.2 In this article, the mission of God is viewed as the blessing of all peoples through Jesus Christ. God's method to accomplish this mission is by His outbreaking presence among a covenant people. Covenant people are referred to as a Kingdom under God with a mission to bless the nations. This mission of God stands as the foundation for a missions theology.
