요약 : In reading the Puritans, I came to the conviction that a biblical methodology of church growth was seen as growth in faith and obedience. I based the project on preaching and teaching from the Scripture five principles of (what I called) the Puritan methodology of church growth: First, if we want to grow as Christians and the Church, the Word of God must be central to our life in worship. Second, if we want to grow as Christians and the Church, we must obey Jesus and evangelize. Third, if we want to grow as Christians and the Church, we must engage in regular hospitality in fellowship with non-Christians and our fellow Christians. Fourth, if we want to grow as Christians and the Church, we must pray rightly, privately, and corporately. Fifth, if want to grow as Christians and the Church, we must receive the Lord's Supper frequently, properly and worthily. I measured the increase in faith and obedience based on the taking of the same survey before and after preaching and teaching the congregation these principles to see if the congregation had understood and believed them. Based on a seven percent overall increase in understanding and agreement with the Puritan church growth methodology and its principles, as well as some specific positive actions taken by the congregation in response to the preaching and teaching, I found this methodology to be successful.
초록/해제  
요약 : This paper and project were designed with the conviction that the current understanding that church growth is an increase in the number of participants in worship and the amount of money given in the offering is not a biblical understanding of church growth. I argued, instead, that numerical growth, biblically, is God's work, though God does work through means.
