TOMORROW, September 19 at 2pm ET, I’ll be continuing my Church Growth Champions Tele-seminar series by interviewing the second of four church growth legends – and you are invited to join our historical conversation (see the P.S. for details on how to register)!

I am excited to hear from Dr. Charles “Chip” Arn share stories and insights about his father, Win Arn, the Promoter of the Church Growth Movement throughout America.

Drawing on the ideas of Donald McGavran (the founder of the modern-day Church Growth Movement), Win Arn realized that McGavran’s ideas were not only applicable to India, but to the United States as well.  Arn then began to share McGavran’s ideas and strategies to congregations focusing on the role lay people play in the growth of the church.

By using the media, he sought to help lay audiences see their normal activities as ways to promote their church’s growth.  One of his more famous films, “How to Grow a Church” (based on a book he co-authored with McGavran), debuted at the 1974 International Congress on World Evangelism in Switzerland.  The close of this conference was said to have set the Church Growth Movement running around the world and set Arn apart as one of the 5 major contributors to the rapid expansion of the Church Growth Movement.

Charles “Chip” Arn became involved in ministry a result of the influence of his father.  When Charles Arn finished his doctoral work, he began to work with his father at Church Growth, Inc and took over as president in 1989 when Win Arn retired. Charles Arn has expounded upon the ideas of his father and created 14 different training seminars for evangelism and is considered one of the leading authorities in church growth today. 

I hope to see you on the call tomorrow! Even if you can’t make it, you’ll receive the recordings of all four tele-seminars.

Your partner in ministry,

Nelson
