Growing The Church 101: Being Disciples Who Make Disciples Kindle Edition

by Caroline Crocker (Author), Keith Andrews (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
Are you longing to see your church grow, both in number and in discipleship? If so, Growing the Church 101 was written for you. Based on a seminar for clergy and wives led by Bishop Keith Andrews on radical and Biblical discipleship, this book is part of comprehensive effort to expand his vision to the local church, first in the Diocese of Western Anglicans, then in ACNA, and then in Anglican churches throughout the world. This vision, if realized, will propel us forward into the next phase of our growth as an obedient church. Growing the Church 101 contains six in depth group studies, each with two midweek homework sessions. The book has been recommended by Archbishop Foley Beach, Rt Rev Dr Todd Hunter and Canon David Rosebury for the express purpose of growing disciples who make disciples. Our prayer is that the Lord will use this book to increase, not just our Church’s head knowledge, but also our heart knowledge and obedience. We pray that it will be a tool to enable and encourage deep discipleship, so that we will become disciples that make disciples that make a difference in the world."With all the books and resources on Church Growth, I recommend this work for the local congregation. Dr. Crocker and Bishop Andrews have provided an excellent resource for a local congregation to gather its influential members and honestly examine what is hindering their ability to fulfill Jesus' Great Commission. They have provided a safe way for a congregation to look in the mirror, and respond to what they see." Archbishop Foley Beach, Anglican Church in North America

From the Author

Kelly's life had not been easy over the past few years. Now, at 30-yrs-old, she'd been left thoroughly disillusioned, with two small children, no husband and a minimum wage job. Looking for some kind of support, she decided to try the local church. It's stained glass and high steeple reminded her of a bygone era, a simpler and kinder time. She dropped her children off in the nursery, inflating the number of children to three. Kelly slipped into the back of the church just as the organ started playing. In front of her was the explanation for the nearly empty nursery--a sea of gray hair. Well, not so much a sea as a few waves. She counted 27 people. During the announcements, the pastor informed the congregation of two upcoming funerals and the need for increased giving. 
 
Does this sound familiar? We talk about making our churches attractive to the younger generation, but how? Did you know that half of the churches in America have a regularly worshipping congregation of less than 75 people? Did you know that only about 20% of Americans go to church regularly? And did you know that a quarter of those who attend 60% of mainline churches are over 65? Bible-believing, church-attending disciples are a dying breed. Literally. If you are not a mega-church member, you know--by experience, not statistics. Something needs to change. 
 
Welcome to Growing the Church 101! This six-week Bible study is focused on producing disciples who make disciples who make disciples who make disciples. That is, doing it Jesus' way. We will not be learning how to make our churches seeker-sensitive. There are far too many books on that. We will not be taking a self-help class on how to evangelize. There are far too many books on that. We will not even be taking a course on how to reinvigorate our youth and children's ministries. To do that we would need youth and children!
 
The goal of this booklet is that we learn from the Master Himself. No techniques will be presented. As such, for many of us, this study will be challenging. It will require, and even demand, deep down radical attitude transformation that will, inevitably, produce life change (Ro 12:2). But, be encouraged. Simon Peter and the disciples found that doing it Jesus' way worked (Jn 21:4-6). We will find the same. And we can expect a definite result. We will become disciples who make disciples who make disciples.

I’m an immigrant born to an immigrant and on for generations. That wanderlust rubbed off. My parents are Dutch, but I’ve lived in Canada, Iowa, England, California, Texas and Virginia. To keep it interesting, my British husband and I adopted a Bulgarian!

My career has been equally varied. I trained as a scientist: microbiology and immunology. Then I worked in medical research before teaching cell biology, microbiology, and more at a couple of colleges in VA. After a brief stint as a movie star (seriously!), I founded a nonprofit and learned about websites, newsletters, blogs, and speaking. That wasn’t enough of learning new things, so I started a company and took on the dubious pleasures of negotiating with lawyers, writing patents, and finding investors.

And now? I'm doing what I love. Enjoying my eight grandchildren, gardening, and writing books. Adult books, big kid books, little kid books, and even a book on doing microbiology in your kitchen. Nonfiction written like fiction.
