    An investigation into the factors that influenced numerical growth of Kimbo all nations Gospel church Kenya from 2000 to 2007
    (2013-08-23) Mbugua, Joyce M.
    The purpose of this research was to shed light into the factors that influenced numerical growth of Kimbo All Nations Gospel Church from a congregation of about 500 in 1994 to 2,500 in 2007. One of the major reasons is because many churches struggle with the issue of church growth. Many churches remain small despite many years of existence. By bringing these factors to light, such churches will be able to compare their methods with the methods used at Kimbo All Nations Gospel Church and thus be able to determine which methods can work best for them. The research was carried out using qualitative method of research where 30 participants were interviewed using open ended and semi structured questions. After the findings were analyzed it was discovered that the major factors that caused numerical growth in the church were effective leadership, effective departments, evangelism, mission and follow-up, good administration, committed membership and good church activities. Effective leadership emerged as the major factor that influenced other factors of numerical growth.
