Abstract

Programs that build on strengths and resources to produce growth can be implemented in declining churches. After education and planning, the project implemented two programs in a declining, thirty-year old church. One used the church's strengths and resources; the other required strengths and resources the church did not have. Significant growth in attendance, membership and income resulted from the first program; nothing resulted from the second. The author concludes that programs which use available strengths and resources will be more successful and develop more rapidly. A narrative of the evaluation process, worksheets, and an analytical tool for selecting programs are included.
