10 Tips To Church Growth by femiadams(m): 10:08pm On May 19, 2010
We are living in a world with modern people who are demanding for a new kind of Christianity and are forming one already.

Christianity has become a supermarket for people to choose from. Except today’s Church Leaders and Co-coordinators understand the role and importance of Church Growth Management and Administration, they would be pushed into the arena of religious activities.

Church Growth is the study of the components and elements of the development and management of the body of Christ known as the Church.

The Church is a spiritual organism, composed of believers who live in a spiritual estate, having the hope of reigning with Christ in his eternal kingdom.

Unfortunately, most believers do not see the Church as a spiritual organism but a religious organization. This short sight or spiritual blindness has a serious adverse effect on the growth and powers of the Church, today.

To grow your church today, consider the following principles:

1. See the Church as God’s-dwelling place. Visualize God occupying your seat as the bishop of the church including your sacred altar.

2. See the Church as God’s property not yours. Although it is not a crime to call the Church by whatever name you desire, it must be born in your mind that nobody can claim or should claim the ownership of the church.

3. Ensure that your church is guided and directed by The Holy Spirit.

4. Ensure that you raise an eschatological community of Christians from your church members who are empowered to approach God in freedom and liberty of the spirit; who do not have to look up to you or someone else as a medium or an intermediary between them and God.

5. Raise your church members to practice holy and righteous living.

6. Raise your church members as evangelist, preachers, prayersists, praise singers, givers and welfarists.

7. Teach your church members to love and be bonded in unity of purpose.

8. Discover God’s perfect will for your church. Find out exactly what God wants to use your church to accomplish different from others.

9. Identify your church members’ spiritual gifts and fit the right gift in the appropriate office.

10. Understand today’s man and relate with him practically in today’s language and in the power of The Holy Spirit.

Another aspect of church growth is in follow up and cell system. Many churches have neglected this . As they win souls , some. Slip away through the back door unnoticed like a net that is torn.
