Abstract

Heading toward new ministerial structures: A situationanalysis of the local congregation

According to 2 Corinthians 3:18 the church has the instruction to be transformed so to become part of the body of Christ more and more. But it does happen that
the church stagnate in its ministry. The purpose of the subject Church Growth is to adress this problem. One phase of this subject is the analysis of the situation in
the local church. The purpose of the analysis is to systematically look at the situation in a congregation of the church and then to identify problems that stand in the
way of fulfilling of the Biblical command. The situation- analysis can not be done at random, but must be planned carefully. This study gives attention to a planned
situation-analysis of the local church.
