Knowing Church

Church Matters.

It matters because the church is the instrument that God has chosen to reach a lost world.  Ephesians 3:10 reminds us, "God has chosen the church to make known his manifold wisdom..." This site deals with matters of church—how they grow and why, what strategies are most effective at helping churches grow, and how can your church be biblically faithful while reaching people in culture.

We welcome you to take a look at the enclosed information. Our hope is that it will encourage and challenge you.  We did not do most projects, so do not see everything inside as an endorsement.  Rather, read the enclosed, seek the Lord's direction, and carefully apply the knowledge you gain in your unique situation.

Note: One of our goals is to give you access to the broadest and the best research and information sources available.  We have made every effort possible to link to accurate sources, NAMB and CMR do not endorse nor agree with every source or research report that has a link on this site.
