Church Growth Theory

Church Growth Theory is a framework that examines how and why churches expand their congregations and influence within communities. Developed in the 20th century, it focuses on factors such as demographics, cultural relevance, and effective outreach strategies. The theory emphasizes the importance of understanding the local context, engaging in community needs, and fostering strong relationships both within and outside the church. By analyzing these elements, Church Growth Theory aims to help religious organizations enhance their vitality, attract new members, and sustain long-term growth while nurturing spiritual development.
