THEORY OF CHURCH GROWTH (제42강) ✝️✝️✝️ (영문)
Discipling the Laity for Disciple Making (20)
(93) Can the results of the disciple making program be measured?
This is very important because it is related to the growth of the
church.
1) Without measurement the degree of church growth through
the disciple making program may not be known.
2) Therefore the results of the disciple making program must
be measured. Because the disciples are people, and the
people are countable, the making disciples is not only an
objective, it is a measurable objective (Hedlund 1977, 1).
3) Whatever is to be measured must in fact be measurable
(Yamamori and Lawson 1975, 94).
4) First of the measuring criteria of church growth is an increase
of the church members.
5) This is the measurement of numerical or quantitative growth
of the church. The disciple making typically measures its
success in terms of how many people have become members
of the church.
6) It includes, of course, the ways to increase the numerical
church growth: biological, transfer, and conversion (Miles
1981, 51,52).
7) Second of the measuring criteria of church growth is the
maturity of faith in the Christian life.
8) The fruits of faith can be measured (Hunter 1983, 128). This
means a qualitative or spiritual growth of the church
members.
9) It can be measured in terms of an evaluation of one's
Christian life. In other words, it means how often have they
been attending the worship, prayers, and activities of the
church.
10) And it also concerns much about giving to the church, and
serving the church and their society.
11) Third of the measuring criteria of church growth is an
increase of giving in the church. This means financial growth
of the church.
12) The statistical data of the offerings and donations will
become the criterion of the financial growth of the church. It
is very clearly measurable.
13) An effective disciple making program in the church may
result in a financial increase in member giving and church
finances.
(94) Evaluation is necessary for the church to plan and change or to
change and plan the programs again.
1) The church can plan new programs according to the
evaluation of the old programs.
2) Evaluation should be going on throughout the entire
planning process.
3) Evaluation may be conducted not only by the pastor and
church leaders but also all the members of the church that
have participated in the program.
4) There are several methods of evaluation. Such methods as
questionaires, personal interviews, public hearings through
the meeting for the evaluation, and documentations of the
church and the study and training group may be considered.
5) The content of evaluation may be the program style and
scale, goals, activities, methodology, problems to solve,
planning for future, and so on.
6) It is very important to ask not \"what we are doing\" but \"how
well we are doing.\"
7) In fact, it is not the training content that is important but the
training method.
8) To improve the program effectiveness, evaluation and
feedback will be helpful (Lidgren and Shawchuck 1981, 93). ⛪️⛪️⛪️
