Making People Count: Church Growth in Modern Times

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how in Chapter 2 of the Book of Acts the apostles are confronted with the mission of growing a flock of faithful that will serve and spread the word of God. The evolution of this process was founded in a devotion to the Lord and the willingness of those souls present to focus their lives on their new association with Christianity. The paper further discusses how throughout time, church leaders have made attempts to increase the size of their congregations using a variety of methods, many of which have been based on greed rather than a focus on God. Other methods have received worldwide acclaim for their business approach to religious organization and their focus on building a congregation far beyond the realm of the local community.
