520 |a Survey data were collected from 249 pastors and 8,211 members of Seventh-day Adventist churches in the United States and Canada. The survey items were regressed against two measures of church growth in an attempt to identify significant predictors. Growth was found to be related to the extent to which pastors focus all facets of church life on growing, to the percent of members attending prayer meeting and/or meeting in small study and fellowship groups, to the belief in the growth potential of the congregation expressed by pastor and members, to the pastor's skill in the use of certain methods of evangelism, to the degree of unity in the church, to the level of family income, and to the degree to which laity assume church jobs and engage in outreach ministries.
