Abstract:
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.
