Abstract
In the last 10 to 20 years, the Church Growth Movement has proliferated in at least three dimensions. First, the Movement has proliferated by topics. In the last decade or so, we have seen church growth leaders concentrate on mega-churches, metachurches, philosophy of ministry, understanding secular people, mission statements, the age wave, builders, boomers, busters, lifestyle evangelism, vision, change, small groups, Sunday Schools, breaking barriers, etc. In a second dimension, there has been proliferation in other ways. Not only was there the founding of the American Society for Church Growth, but there Church Growth Associations in other countries. In a third dimension, there has been proliferation of the Church Growth Movement by influence. The Movement has had its impact and stamp upon many other movements including Lausanne, A.D. 2000 and Beyond, DAWN, and the U.S. Center for World Mission.
