As the guy
who has coached the fastest growing new church in the UMC for the last
four and one half years, I should add that I have also coached some of
the slowest growing new churches.
In a few cases, new church projects just fail to take root, and we need to close the project, making a note of lessons learned.
In most cases, however, where excellent church plants grow slowly it is because they are relating to a different audience
than the fastest growing new church mentioned above.
