God's Design for Church Growth and Maturity. With Pastor Kellen Hiroto. The core of God's metric for church success is spiritual maturity, not numerical or "worldly" growth, cautioning against practices like "watered down theology" to attract crowds. God's gifts for growth, distinguishing the temporary, foundational roles of apostles and prophets from the ongoing roles of evangelists and shepherd-teachers (elders), whose primary function is to equip the saints for ministry. The goal for growth is to attain "mature manhood" in Christ, avoiding the instability of false doctrine by having a strong biblical foundation, and that every member is essential to the body's growth.
