This study was intended to answer the question, Is there a positive correlation between preaching and biblical church growth? The project outlined the result of a biblical and historical literature review and the development of a methodology used to examine local churches in Tucson, Arizona. The study tested the proposition: there is a positive correlation between preaching and church growth. The hypothesis of this combined descriptive and quasi-experimental research was: if this proposition is correct then tangible evidence exists that the emphasis of preaching will positively impact growth. The first objective stated that an examination of the Bible would support the proposition. A biblical search revealed that there existed a positive correlation between preaching and biblical church growth, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The author found substantial evidence linking the rise and wane of church growth with the emphasis and decline of preaching. The third objective stated that an examination of contemporary churches would support the proposition. The author concludes there exists a correlation between preaching and church growth.
