Issues relating to church growth and church health are some of the most frequently discussed issues among ministers today. Our team approaches growth/health issues from the perspective that church health is the first priority. Church growth should be a result of church health. Growth that results from the foundation of church health is more easily retained.

Most health/growth issues relate to the churches' overall strategy, programming, and personality. For that reason, health/growth issues cannot be approached from a "one-size fits all" plan. The importance of principle-centered customization in dealing with church/growth can not be overstated. This is where our team's desire and passion to partner with church leaders meets the needs of Arkansas Baptist churches. We want to help you customize new strategies and programs that will move your church towards health and growth.

Some of the key growth/health issues today are:

• New member assimilation and incorporation
• Leading your church to be guest friendly to enhance evangelism
• Determining a purpose for your worship services
• Leading your church to the next size level
• Making Wednesday nights highly effective youth and children outreach night
• Rethinking the invitation: five models of the effective evangelistic invitation
• Planning a church year-long evangelism calendar
• Church growth through the Sunday School
• Understanding growth barriers
• Reaching secular people
• Discovering, enlisting, and training church leaders
• Diagnostic tools for church health
