EXPONENTIAL thinking notes
Growing PAINS …
Are you stuck? Has your church growth leveled off or even
started declining? I can relate.
When we launched The Journey Church
(www.journeymetro.com) in 2002 with 110 people, I was
ecstatic. What a great number for a brand-new church in
the middle of New York City! Unfortunately, my
excitement didn’t last long. The next week, only 55 of
our 110 attendees returned. Not too bad, I reasoned—
we’d kept half. Yet, over the next five months, with my
dynamic leadership and powerful preaching, I “grew” the
church down to 35 ... in a city of 8 million.
Something was definitely wrong.
Without knowing it, I was already bumping up against
growth barriers—the issues we all face at various points
in ministry that stop or reverse our church’s growth. But
I slowly learned to identify and break through these
barriers that were standing in our way. Now, 5 years
later with God’s blessing and a clearly defined system
for dealing with growth barriers, The Journey is a
multicultural, multi-site community of more than 1,200.
Most churches seem to face growth barriers at five key
points: when attendance reaches 65, 125, 250, 500 and
1,000. In training pastors throughout the country, I’ve
discovered that we all deal with the same inevitable
barriers, so remember you’re not alone. However, by
becoming proactive in learning to identify and break
through these barriers, we can keep our momentum and
continue growing for God’s glory.
First and foremost, as a pastor looking to grow your
church, make sure you’re always asking yourself the
right question about growth.
The Wrong Question: How do I get my church to
grow? Your job is not to force growth. When you think
growth is your responsibility, you will inevitably make
bad decisions. Church growth is ultimately not about
what we can do in our own power; it’s about God’s
power and His choice to work through us. Refuse to
settle for anything less than God’s vision for
your church.
GOD is AWESOME! HE is worthy of PRAISE, HONOR and Worship!
ARTICLES THAT HELP
BY NELSON SEARCY
The Right Question: What is keeping my church
from growing? Healthy organisms grow. If you feel
stagnation setting in, barriers are inhibiting your growth.
Implement a plan to remove them.
Now that you’re asking the right question, I encourage you
to make two affirmative decisions.
Decision #1: I believe God wants to
grow my church.
2 Peter 3:9 (NLT) tells us, “The Lord isn’t really being slow
about His promise to return, as some people think. No,
He is being patient for your sake. He does not want
anyone to perish, so He is giving more time for everyone
to repent.” Your church is part of that redemptive plan.
Of course God wants it to grow. Growth signals
repentance and life change.
Decision #2: I want to see my church
grow. Does thinking about the next barrier you’re
facing scare you into inactivity? Don’t get discouraged.
God never gives us a vision without supplying what we
need to fulfill it.
When you’re asking the right question, and you know in
your core that both you and God want your church to
grow, nothing can stop you—but growth barriers can
definitely slow you down.
So whether you are growing a small church in the suburbs
or a megachurch in a big city, you need to be able to
recognize the top five growth barriers and know how to
meet them head-on.
Growth Barrier #1: NO MORE Space for Growth
Growth Barrier #2: PASTOR LACKS Self-Development
Growth Barrier #3: NO Sharing Time with New People
Growth Barrier #4: BORING Worship Service
Growth Barrier #5: NO ADDITIONAL Staff
