Pastor Mike is back from his summer vacation (2011) and after some updates on the ministry, he discusses real church growth - the maturation of the saints.
How does your church advertise itself? Does it focus on the dress or style or entertainment ... or does it uphold Christ and His Word?
At BBC a verse that sums up our mission is Colossians 1:28
:
Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.
