Achieving Church Growth Internally and Externally

By Chad Gleaves


Today many chapels are experiencing a failing membership thus forcing pastors and elders for you to resort to many measures to bring people back in churches. Sometimes their own methods are scriptural but very often they will use worldly methods to increase membership. In the long run these types of worldly methods don't work very well. If Lord has asked us all to be His witnesses on the ends of the world then it is ridiculous to think that they will not give us the resources. All the answers to church marketing are located in the Bible. Let us look at a few resources in which God has provided us.

The best way to advertise anything at all is through word of mouth. Whenever we want to send each of our child for audio lessons chances are we would rather send our own child to somebody who is known by a few other friends rather than to your total stranger. Just like it is the Christians in your church who can notify other people about the saving grace of Jesus. Folks who suffer from experienced it first hand! So pastors who exhort along with train the existing people in the church with regard to soul winning could have not only fulfilled the fantastic commission but will also see their cathedral grow vigorously.

Educators are another great reference that God offers given us. Yes, God has given items of teachers to each church along with prophets and evangelists and people who serve, and many others. Teachers who are gifted and on fire with regard to God are a fantastic asset to any church! There are lots of people who are hungry for that Word of God. There are many who do not recognize but want to know as well as teachers who can support understand the Word more clearly are a great resource to instill growth in the religious organization.

Another ability that will Christians must cultivate is the ability to fulfill people at their own point of need to have. This was an issue that will came up in the early religious organization when non-Jews were asked to be circumcised if they ended up to become Christians. Lord makes no such problems! So we should be able to go to the people where they are and not make it difficult for them to come to Lord.

Expecting people to arrive at us to benefit from your God given products is tantamount to pride which God hates. God has commanded us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Were loving when we check out a person who can not or even will not come to people. Reach out in love and also someone who is waiting will take hold of your hand the other more soul will likely be pulled out of the effectively of sin.
