- Abstract
- The project identifies disciple-making as the central mission of the church. Researching the history, polity, and membership statistics of the Christian Reformed Church in North America, the observation is made that certain ecclesiastical procedures hinder, rather than facilitate, each congregation's fulfillment of this mission. Theological critique establishes the case for taking a new approach in order to effectively make disciples of all nations. A church growth consultation is conducted in a local Christian Reformed congregation, using, in small groups, materials based on the planning cycle. Although modest results are realized, it is observed that even the best plans, methods, and strategies depend upon prayer and the blessing of God. Insights for effective outreach are gleaned from the field of marketing, in addition to building on theological foundations.
