Reasons for Growth Among Non-Denominational Churches

In this episode, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss an article from Thom Rainer about why 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.
