Armies use strategies to obtain victory over their enemies, and we, the Church of the Living God are His earthly army. Churches are a territorial branch of God’s Army, but those who don’t employ strategies, usually experience little, if any victories. The duties of a Pastor are many, often causing limitations regarding the time necessary to develop effective strategies that will cause Church growth.  God is never short sighted or caught off guard regarding the need of His Pastors and Churches, thus He calls and equips some and sends them to His Pastors and Churches with the strategies necessary for victory. 

     When trying to get people to come to your Church, you must put yourself in their shoes, and ask yourself, “Why do I need to go to that Church, and what do they have that I need or want?”  Most cities have many Churches, so what would make people who need the Lord, pass by other Churches to come to yours? The answer is “God Ordained Strategies that specifically target their issues, needs, desires, and things that are relative to them.”

The “Developing Bible Studies As An Evangelistic, Christian Maturation And Church Building Strategy” is intended to use Bible Studies to reach three separate target groups of people to cause growth in a local or citywide Church/Ministry. These target groups are: The Unsaved (those that do not know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior), Those needing Christian Maturation and Development (the Spiritually Immature, Those who are babes in Christ or young in the faith, as well as those who never sought to go deeper with God), and Reaching others who are hungry for the Word of God in whom will join and help build the Church further. This strategy will help you effectively reach these people.This strategy also offers an interesting Bible Study from my “In The Beginning… End” Spiritual Enrichment Course. This course is designed to cause interest in the Word of God, by offering Biblical truths that are not readily heard, which is key to stirring interest in many types of people. I recommend that you try out the teaching by teaching it to your local congregation during one of your established Bible Studies and see if it causes greater interest and excitement. Let them know in advance some of the key information that the lesson offers that you will be teaching about and tell them to invite a friend. If it works with them, then know you then need to expand it to a full strategy for your community and/or city.
