7 Steps to Church Growth

It feels great to be back home, I’m not going to lie, but I do miss feeling warm all of the time. On the way home, I was flying with my aunt who works for the airlines, so I was able to fly first class. Now this may sound cool at first, but keep in mind our flight departed at 11:50 PM so all I did was sleep. I didn’t really get much of anything. I also decided I don’t like the looks that people give you when you sit in first class as everyone else is going to sit down in their seats. Overall, I’d say it’s not worth it.

Yesterday I had to attend the Assemblies of God district council for school and during it they had one church from each area share a couple tips for church growth. I wrote down the best ones. I thought you would enjoy them, because I know I sure did.

1) Have your building’s roof callapse, then try and rebuild your church and get sued for it.

2) Offend your congregations

3) Build bigger buildings or make your building prettier

4) Get a sweet accent

5) Get an awesome snowblower

6) Start with a tiny church so that any growth that you get looks huge percentage wise. Go from smallest to smaller.

7) Get intoxicated (with Jesus)

As you can see, I didn’t find it incredibly useful. Something else that made me giggle was the only business item they had on the floor was a movement to be thankful to everyone that put district council on. Seriously, a movement to be thankful? It was accepted, so I guess we all have to be against our own will. Doesn’t district council sound fun?
