However, many church leaders may be overlooking the most powerful and effective tool available to us; helping our current congregants become all that God desires them to be. I believe that the closer Christians get to God, the closer they get to their church growth objective. This is because the deeper our relationship with the living God...the more attuned we become to His 'Great Commision' desire to bring all people into a saving relationship with Himself. We begin to discover what we can be doing to reach the lost. Our role in church growth becomes clear.
Consider, today, how you can move your charges closer to their Lord. By doing so you will see God move in a mighty way and He will bring new people to serve under your leadership. This is because God desires to place His people under the leadership of those who will care for them and take care for their spiritual growth.
Plans and methodologies are fine. They have their place. However, don't worry about growing your congregation numerically; put your effort into growing those you have....spiritually. The numbers will follow!
