Abstract:
A well studied and structured Ecclesia Group system plays a vital role in
church numerical growth that contributes to the mission of God through reaching out
to the world and translating the capacities of its members for church activities like
discipleship of new member and effective involvement in the church’s vision. The
Nairobi Chapel began the Ecclesia Group system in the late 90’s. It proved to
influence the Nairobi Chapel numerical growth through its continual discipleship for
its members and their involvement in church activities in direct and indirect means.
This happens due to the clear path of discipleship the church have and its mission of
growing deep to reach wide. The research identified Ecclesia Groups’ control on
numerical growth through its continual discipleship. They offer opportunities for
ministry and outreach for its members and leaders. The findings of this research
attempted to shed more light on this influence and how to enhance and maintain this
numerical growth of the Nairobi Chapel.
