<br/><br/> 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.
