| abstract | The ancient archaic text has survived for thousands of years. My thesis poses this question: How relevant is the ancient text
to church growth today? The goal of my project is to create a model for ministry analysis that assesses whether church growth springs from the presentation of the
ancient archaic text, or whether church growth is influenced by other factors. Most churches, small or large, do not have a framework for analyzing and understanding
the factors that contribute to or hinder growth. Therefore, this project aims to devise methods to determine whether the interpretation of the ancient text is at the
core of church growth and to posit strategies that promote growth in modern churches. This study was conducted at the following church location: Kingdom in the
Valley Christian Church, 11640 North 19th Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona, 85029, Reginald and Kelley Steele, Pastors. The candidate's church location is as follows: The
Highway Church, 371 10th Avenue, Paterson, New Jersey, 07514, Bishop Liston Page Jr., Pastor.
