This is dangerous because leaders become intoxicated with growth and start to hire and acquire like the growth will never stop. I see a lot of leaders bet the farm on that new facility that will “pay for itself” or load the staff with high-salary superstars. Another common mistake we see leaders make is the lack of accountability for staff budgets and spending. We also see a lot of churches that have millions of dollars coming in annually but they can’t make payroll if the church doesn’t meet this weekend. http://tonymorganlive.com/2009/12/03/financial-dangers-for-fast-growing-churches/Can A Church Grow too fast? From Voddie Baucham MinistriesWord is out about the new GFBC church plant that is scheduled to launch January 31, 2010. GFBC launched on April 7, 2006, just over three and a half years ago. However, since then, we have seen significant growth. Most of that growth has occurred in the past year. A year ago we had a little over 140 members, and our average Sunday morning attendance was about 220. This October, our membership is about 250, and our average attendance is between 420 and 450. Of course, these are not significant numbers for churches in our area. Houston is home to some gargantuan churches (ever heard of Lakewood?)……our facility will not hold more than 550-600 (uncomfortably). For another thing, our church culture and identity is already being stretched. Therefore, something has to be done.http://www.voddiebaucham.org/vbm/Blog/Entries/2009/11/22_New_GFBC_Church_Plant_in_North_Houston%28Part_One%29.htmlUnbiblical Church Growth From kentbrandenburg blogI can clearly see what a purpose driven ministry looks like: The watered down preaching, trendy music replacing good worship music, the emphasis on getting people to feel comfortable rather than on sound doctrinal teaching, marginalizing older saints as not having an important role to play in the life of the church, attempting to be relevant toward current cultural issues.I want to focus on the second, third, and last of the characteristics expounded by Butler: trendy music replacing good worship music, the emphasis on getting people to feel comfortable rather than on sound doctrinal teaching, and attempting to be relevant toward current cultural issues.http://kentbrandenburg.blogspot.com/ Videos Christian Comedian David Dean’s take on church growth John Macarthur on Church Growth Church Growth in the modern church age compared to biblical times Johnny Burgeson from Kingdom.com on Church GrowthCommentary from Kingdomcast:Church growth in and of itself is good, and it should be the goal of most all churches to want to continue to extend their influence on the world. But dangers ensue when trying to create church growth, from following unbiblical principles in the name of being ‘seeker friendly’ to growing beyond the church’s capacity to serve the new members, church growth should be deliberate, biblical, and conducted with practical considerations of available resources.Churches that grow beyond the resources, churches that grow unbiblically will, in time, either completely collapse or simply be converted to something entirely different than the church’s original mission statement.Paul Collier- publisherThis web report sponsored by http://kingdom.com the home of quality webcasting products and services from DVD copiers to microphones to flip cameras and more, visit the kingdom today to begin webcasting tomorrow
