Planning for Growth

Discovering your church’s future story

Growth happens when a church deepens its roots into the love of God and grows outward in love for its community.

It’s when we become fully alive in Jesus Christ and all that he wants the church to be.

A ‘growth plan’ is simply a plan of action saying what your church, circuit or new Christian community will do in the next 12 months to grow spiritually, missionally and, by God’s grace, numerically too.

What do we mean by growth?
