Abstract

This study sought to discover how rapidly expanding churches use resources to grow. This multi-case design studied five United Methodist churches of the Central Texas Conference that had an average annual growth rate of 7 percent for 1990-1999. The findings were similar to what the Apostles experienced in Acts 6. The pastors welcomed the laity in roles of leadership, as they opened up new roles of leadership. The churches focused spending on people, as the twelve's focus was on people. Finally, the twelve and the churches were shaped by the driving value to proclaim Jesus Christ.
