A.There are two types of growth within a local church: spiritual and numerical.
1.Spiritual growth is the internal growth that a church experiences as individual Christians become more mature and draw closer to one another and to God through faith, love, and unity.This is the type of growth described in Ephesians 4:11-16.
2.Numerical growth is simply the increase in the number of members in a local church.
B.Typically, members of the church understand why the church needs to grow spiritually.
