Program Based Churches

Posted under Church, appropriate church, discipleship by FPeatross

Global Church Advancement recently held a five-day conference in Orlando Florida. You can browse the conference information or visit the Global Church Advancement Blog and read the notes from the Missional Conference. I particularly liked Randy Pope’s distinction of people-based churches and programmed based churches.

A church is program-based when its primary method of making mature and equipped followers of Christ centers around the delivery of truth through the vehicles of church programs (i.e., seminars, preaching and classes, etc.). ~Randy Pope; Life on Life Missional Discipleship
