Maelezo ya Kozi
This course examines the theology, principles, and methods of church growth from a Reformed perspective, emphasizing faithfulness to the gospel over mere numerical expansion. It explores the biblical foundations of church growth in the book of Acts and the epistles.
Rather than adopting secular marketing models, the course focuses on theological integrity, contextual faithfulness, and the spiritual vitality of the local church. Topics covered include evangelism, assimilation, small group ministry, leadership multiplication, community engagement, and evaluating church health.
Emphasis is placed on the local church as God's appointed means for advancing His kingdom through Word, sacrament, and discipline.
