Proven Chruch Growth Strategies

Church Growth experts have challenged, motivated and inspired church leaders for decades to stretch beyond the status quo when reaching communities. The following list of proven church growth strategies has been posted to aid pastors and church leaders effectively communicate the life-changing message of Jesus Christ to a lost world. Please study the effectiveness of each strategy as not all will work in every church.

There are too many books, DVD's, lectures, magazine articles and Ph.D. dissertations on church growth principles and strategies. These eight principles should end all discussion on how to grow a church.

1. Use 5th grade boys as greeters after they drink 2 liters of Mountain Dew and a shot of Red Bull.
2. Use score cards to judge the pastors sermon like in Olympic gymnastics.
3. Members are allowed to blow vuvuzela’s if the preacher’s sermon goes over 30-minutes.
4. Have a tattoo artist available before and after services.
5. Line the aisles with baskets of rotten fruit and vegetables to throw at the worship team when they lead a song we don’t know!
6. Make the Education Minister fight Brock Lesnar if he changes the SS curriculum.
7. Host a community-wide bonfire using the hymnals we haven’t opened in eight years.
8. Allow family members to designate how long new converts should be held under during baptism.

Church Growth Methodologies is just one of the many services I provide.
