Abstract

The project thesis examines the impact of emphasizing the principles of the Great Commandment and the resultant effect on prioritization of the Great Commission, within a congregation experiencing membership decline in metro Nashville, TN. The author offers an analysis of church membership decline which is linked to congregational over-dependence on the proclamation model of evangelism, and the failure to engage in relationship-based growth strategies. The results of this study suggest that through emphasizing the practice and importance of God's love as defined in the Great Commandment, church members can express an increased desire to invest in reaching the community as commanded by Christ in the Great Commission.
