Church Growth, Numbers, And Record Keeping, John W. Ellas

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

Counting disciples, tracking trends, and keeping good records have all been criticized aspects of the Church Growth Movement since its founding. While several writers have spoken to these criticisms over the years, the article, “Church Growth, Numbers, and Record Keeping” by Dr. John W. Ellas is one of the best responses ever written. He carefully presents the biblical foundations, answers the major criticisms, and offers six values for counting disciples.

Historical Clarity: Disciple-Making And The Church Growth Movement, Robert D. Hooper Apr 1998

Historical Clarity: Disciple-Making And The Church Growth Movement, Robert D. Hooper

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

The Church Growth Movement relies heavily on the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) for much of its passion and theological foundation.

Frank C. Laubach And The Challenge Of Literary Evangelism, J. Gregory Lawson Apr 1998

Frank C. Laubach And The Challenge Of Literary Evangelism, J. Gregory Lawson

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

This article reviews the legacy of Frank Charles Laubach (1884-1970). Laubach pioneered an evangelistic approach often called “literary evangelism” whereby churches taught illiterate peoples to read and thereby witnessed for Christ. This approach has been effectively used on the mission field and may be an effective way to win people to Christ in the urban centers of North America. Laubach believed that a church should teach numerous kinds of illiterates (people groups), i.e., illiterate adults, foreign peoples, school drop-outs, children needing remedial reading, prisoners, and juvenile delinquents. Many of these people groups are found in our cities.
