A Response To Myung-Soo Park, Gary L. Mcintosh

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

Allow me to respond in two parts. First, I will comment on the direct connection between Dr. Park’s findings and traditional Church Growth principles. Second, I will note some concerns and questions that may be of help in focusing future research on this important issue of spiritual leadership and church growth.

Mission Leadership And Church Growth, Chris Sugden

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

My question is what we can learn from Dr. Cho’s experience and writings about the role of leadership of Christian communities in Church growth. It is quite legitimate to do this as there are precedents in Christian history to characterize a movement of God by the writings and activities of a leader – there are Lutheran churches and Wesleyan churches. We are meeting to reflect on what characterizes a Choian church.

Lay Equipping Leadership And Church Growth, Eddie Gibbs

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

One cannot address the topic of Lay Equipping Leadership and Church Growth without reference to the cell group structure that is so integral to the growth of Yoido Full Gospel Church. In order to do justice to the topic I would need to have spent several months interviewing lay leaders, sharing in their training program, and visiting cell groups. As it is I have only visited three cell groups, and that was during my visit to Yoido cin 1985 celebrating the tenth year of the present sanctuary, when we occupied the enlarged building for the first time.

Missiology Of Roland Allen, J. D. Payne

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

Roland Allen was a prolific writer. During his lifetime, he authored numerous books, pamphlets, and articles. Upon examination of Allen’s writings regarding the Church, the researcher encounters certain themes over and over again. Allen was a master of redundancy. His repetition was necessary; in fact, it was strategic. The contemporary scholar must remember that Allen was arguing against a long-standing missionary tradition. The mission station approach to international missions was still in vogue. The tenacity of the mission boards and missionaries was great and a single writing against the problems of the day would not result in the needed paradigm …

Eternal depth of love divine,

How bright Thy beaming glories shine!

How wide Thy healing streams are spread!

With whom dost Thou delight to dwell?

Sinners, a vile and thankless race:

O God, what tongue aright can tell

How vas They love, how great They grace!

The dictates of Thy sovereign will

With joy our grateful hearts receive:

All Thy delight in us fulfil;

Lo! All we are to Thee we give

To They sure love, Thy tender care,

Our flesh, soul, spirit, we resign:

O fix They sacred presence there,

And seal the …

Tracking The Emerging Church, Eddie Gibbs, Ryan Bolger Fuller Theological Seminary

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

While traditional denominations struggle to maintain their blanket coverage of the nation, there are discernable movements emerging, as part of the decentralization process, in the major population centers around the world – movements that are typically decentralized, spontaneous and grass-roots. They are particularly strong among the under 35s generations, although by no means confined to them. Churches identified with these new movements go by a number of names: “churches in emerging culture, “ “alternative worship,” “postmodern church,” “simple church,” “liquid church,” “organic church,” or simply “the emerging church.” Personally, we prefer the last mentioned, as, in our view, the church …

Do Church Planting Systems Help Church Planters? A Summary And Study Of The System That Southern Baptists Use To Support Their Church Planters, Ed Stetzer

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

Does the presence of a church planting system assist in the growth of new churches? Anecdotal information has existed for years. It seemed to many that church planters did better when they were screened, had mentors, met with other planters, etc. However, there has been no large-scale study on the subject until now. This paper presents the results of a three-year of study of the Church Planting Process (CPP) used by the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Uses And Cautions Of Marketing As A Church Growth Tool, Darren Cronshaw

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

Advocates of church marketing assert that every church markets. Sunday newsletters, church signs, church letterheads and visitation of newcomers are all marketing tools. The question is whether such marketing is intentional and likely to be productive, or haphazard and unfocused
