This course deals with the spiritual, cultural, and social dynamics of church growth. It is primarily for pastors, church leaders, and missionaries, although lay workers and ministerial students will also find it helpful. The student will study church growth strategy, see examples of that strategy applied under varying conditions, and learn how to make a diagnostic study of a local church to discover causes of growth or lack of growth. The emphasis of the course is the practical application of the textbook’s principles to the student’s particular field of labor. The study questions and project are designed toward this purpose.
