Abstract

The goal of this project was to determine the most feasible city within New York's Southern Tier region in which to develop a site for the planting of a new Church of the Nazarene. A tri-fold methodology was employed: 1) conceptual-analysis of biblical and church growth principles relating to church planting; 2) demographic-a comparative demographic study of four target cities in light of the conceptual conclusions and opinions of zone pastors; and 3) attitudinal-an attitudinal survey conducted among southern tier area Nazarenes to measure beliefs and attitudes concerning the conceptual and demographic issues raised. The project concludes with an extensive proposal for the Upstate New York District Nazarene Advisory Board. The city of Vestal, NY is targeted for planting and a specific strategy is outlined.
