Effective evangelism view : church growth effectively confronts and penetrates the culture Gospel and our culture view : church growth lacks a sufficient view of the church, which hinders it from effectively engaging the culture Centrist view : church growth is based on an evangelistically focused and missiologically applied theology Reformist view : church growth assumes theology but ineffectively employs it to analyze culture, determine strategy, and perceive history Renewal view : church growth must be based on a biblical vision of the church as the vital community of the kingdom of God Pastoral reflections.
