Why Non-Denominational Churches are Growing

Listen Later

We must be careful with our attempts to explain the growth of the non-denominational movement.

  1. Our information is anecdotal, rather than data-based
  2. Non-denominational churches are far from monolithic

    3. 5 reasons non-denominational churches are growing.

    1. Non-denominational churches tend to be more evangelistic.
    2. Non-denominational churches typically invest more financially in reaching their communities.
    3. Non-denominational churches usually do not engage in issues of conflict to the level that denominational churches do.
    4. Non-denominational churches do not carry the “name” baggage that a denominational church might carry.
    5. Non-denominational churches tend to be newer churches that grow faster than older churches.
