Growing a healthy modern church isn't about gimmicks or tricks-it's not about marketing tips, ads, or how to create the most seeker-sensitive promotions. A healthy church isn't even about the numbers. Whether your church body numbers in the dozens or in the thousands, the real question is, are we following Jesus's plan for church growth or are we simply buying in to modern church growth gimmicks.
