#8 - Spiritual Growth Is Seasonal

Reality: We grow in spurts, not a consistent same rate.

There are times of growth and times of consolidation! 

No person and no church grows straight up, everything on earth grows in seasons. In the fall and winter it may not look like you are growing…but you are actually putting down roots

We won't worry about the speed & size of our church…we will focus on the growth of our people.

We will program seasonally – push and then back off. Growth seasons are done at FOTH during campaigns. 

Campaigns drive 5 reinforcements for 6 weeks:

  • Hear it!
  • Read it!
  • Talk about it!
  • Memorize it!
  • Do it!


 

What season are you in?


 

This is how we will join God to move people from "come and see" to "come and die."


 

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruitfruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. John 15:16 (NIV)
