This study investigated the spiritual development of members of a small church through religious education. It was hoped that research would determine religious education would raise one's level of faith maturing and in effect bring about a higher level of church development. A survey was conducted on twelve (12) subjects of the Third Mt Zion Baptist Church of Caroline County. The subjects were evaluated through the use of two instruments: Margaret G Alter's Christian experience inventory, and Peter Benson's research project on faith maturity. The research hypothesis explored the differences between horizontal and vertical faith, and the Christian experience inventory. However, the CEI instrument proved to be more helpful in measuring faith maturity in five areas: trust in God, growth in faith, experience of cost of faith, concern for others, and justification of faith. These areas give one a better understanding of where the subjects are in relation to their spiritual development, and opens the gate towards developing a small church through religious education.
