TEN MARKS OF A GROWING CHURCH

Growing churches have elders who are spiritual men of wisdom and vision and who are deeply interested in the souls they are shepherding (1 The. 5:12-13; 1 Tim. 3:1-7).  Growing churches have deacons who believe they must be servants in order to be deacons, and as deacons they rejoice for the privilege that is theirs to serve (1 Tim. 3:8-13).
