Church Growth Philosophy Flaws
There are many churches in America that are participating in the 40 Days of Purpose conferences. Many pastors have been to the training sessions where they have been taught how to get their church ready. Many churches are now striving to be purpose driven churches and along they way they have heard, seen, or been taught the importance of exponential thinking or exponential growth.
There is a problem with this brand of church growth. Click the link below if you are interested in studying this approach to church growth. This link will be especially helpful for church leaders who have tried this along with so many and are frustrated with the results...but afraid to voice those frustrations because this is the trend of the day in church work.
