  • The thesis of this project is that church growth usually results from a definable and mesurable set of primary factors. These factors transcend qualifying marks of congregations such as race, geography, size, age, and theological distinctives. This project employed factor analysis to compare the independent variable of membership growth with the dependent variable of factors presumed to indicate church growth and church health. The most significant factor difference between growing and declining churches was need-based programs. The research affirms the significance of strictness and meaning for growth. Conservative and liberal churches are more likely to grow rapidly than moderate churches.
