Abstract

This thesis, using descriptive research, presents the factors causing the growth experienced by churches ministering to the autochthonous population in French-speaking Belgium. Surveys and interviews of new believers, mature believers and leaders revealed that growing churches, randomly chosen, have members who invite widely and, particularly, those whom the Spirit is drawing. Visitors are struck by the welcome, the fellowship, the worship, and a sense of connecting with God. They come back and join because of the pastor's preaching, and leadership, the church's vision, the body's infectious care, the worship and the challenge to grow and get involved in ministry.
