What Does it Take For the Church to Grow?

All of us want to see the church grow.  But how do we define church growth?  For most people that means more people coming to church services.  But does an increase in attendance necessarily mean the church is growing?

A church can grow to gargantuan proportions simply on the flamboyance of a charismatic leader.  Is that what it takes for a church to grow, a preacher with a flashy personality?  I sure hope not.  So what is it that God uses to grow his church?

 That’s the question we’re going to address.
