Welcome to the Grow Course

Bishop Ric Thorpe welcomes you to the Grow Course.

By Bishop Ric ThorpeMay 2021

Exercise

Bishop Ric Thorpe talks about the purpose of the course and about the importance of creating a healthy environment for growth.

1. Take the time to think about where you are in your church strategy:

  • Do you have a  mission statement? What is it?
  • What’s your 5-year plan?
  • What is your plan for this year?

2. Now think about the impact your church is having:

  • Where have you seen growth (numerically and in depth/discipleship)?
  • How are you measuring it?
  • Who is making it happen?

3. What would happen if nothing changed?
