cultures to bind and connect everyone in it. A culture provides

cultures and set of best practices produce shared expectations and
behaviors

relationship experience in the church

Elements in Leadership that Contributes to Church Growth:

The Spiritual quality of the pastor - his passion, conviction, walk with God and
character
Clarity of vision and direction, able to hear from God
Good solid trust and positive relationship between pastor and member)
Leadership has influence on church growth and the union of leaders and members
is good for church growth.)
Solid faith in the church vision by the leadership and the members
Courage and boldness that stems out of faith in God
Survey on what brings Church growth:
1. Focus on church growth. Pastors were asked, "To what extent is every phase of church activity focused on
church growth?" Those whose response tended toward a complete focus in this area were pastors of growing
churches.
Peter Wagner lists as one of seven vital signs common to healthy, growing churches in America the fact that they
have their priorities straight. He also says, "The indispensable condition for a growing church is that it wants to
grow and is willing to pay the price for growth,"

2. Belief in growth potential.

"According to your faith be it unto you." Simply put, we cannot do anything unless we believe that we can.

3. Skill in personal decisions

A growing church has a pastor who is comfortable talking with people on a personal level about spiritual things
and who can lead them to a commitment to Jesus Christ.
