With my background, the way a church grows is pretty much the "Rick Warren" way. The first thing I think of is go door to door, talk to people and invite them to a bible study. Now with a new Reformed perspective I am wondering how a church should grow according to biblical standards.
Upon visiting many Reformed churches I am noticing that most have 100 or less people in them, even in large metroplotian areas. First of all, how does a new church plant get to any number, 25, 50, 100+. How many people are ideal before the pastor becomes overwhelmed and can't effectively pastor?
