3. The Diagnostic Clinic Seminar

This program is designed to help a Church understand the meaning of evangelism. It prepares three documents: 1) Church Growth History; 2) Worker Analysis; and 3) Community Setting to set ten year growth goals. It is based on the Fuller Theological Seminary Model and adjusted from experiences in Canada.

Church Growth Principles

The Church Growth Diagnostic Clinic takes a church's leadership team through church growth principles, the diseases limiting its ministry, the church's recent history, her people resources and community potential.

A plan is then developed to ensure continued future growth. The Diagnostic Clinic is based on the Fuller Theological Seminary Model produced by C. Peter Wagner. It has been used successfully many times.
