It has been said of some large churches that the only thing that they care about is attendance but this is a myth. The truth is that the church won t grow very large if that is all they care about. Attendance campaigns and advertising may bring people to your church but they will not come back unless the church delivers the goods. In these modern days doctors and preachers no longer make house calls but keep office hours instead. In the large churches of today, with their thousands of members, the task of contacting each household even once is almost next to an impossibility.
People flock to that kind of church.
I once served in a church whose vision for evangelism was limited to an attempt to raid other churches membership lists and the Senior Warden spent hundreds of dollars copying and mailing hundreds of copies of our weekly Pew sheet to members of other churches. This was not exactly what Jesus had in mind when He commanded us to go out into all the world and preach the Gospel. In Acts 2 we find a Church that fellowshiped, edified each other, worshipped, ministered and evangelized. God added the growth when the Church had done its part. On this telling, we might come to the conclusion that our churches today have much to learn in the area of spiritual health.
