This ministry project examines the survival and growth dynamic of an inner city church in Montgomery, Alabama. Chapter 1 sets the parameters of the project and defines urban ministry. Along with the church's history and demography, key factors that have contributed to the church's long-term growth and vitality are examined. Chapter 2 contains the biblical and theological foundation for church growth. The biblical analysis is meshed with the theological implications for urban ministry. Chapter 3 focuses on the inherent obstacles that challenge an inner city congregation. Special attention is given to confronting and overcoming a wide variety of common church growth impediments. Chapter 4 includes principles and methods that have facilitated the sustained growth of an inner city church. These transferable concepts can assist other churches' productivity. Chapter 5 provides an evaluation of accomplishments and remaining challenges. The evaluation process celebrates God's work in the asphalt garden of Montgomery's First Baptist Church and motivates continued progress.
