I agree that most churches will say they will rely on people bringing people but they neglect to equip them and support them in that process. My experience has been that the best way to grow a church in numbers is exact ley that - Christians investing in relationships within their circle of influence and then taking or making opportunities to invite those people to church. However, most churches do not have a marketing plan which will give their people the promotional tools to help tell the story of their church and as a result compel people to want to being their spiritual journey.

I think a lot of churches just rely on the old process: our congregation will bring people into our church. This is still very, very important: relationships with others have deep impact on non-believers. However, there are people out there searching for answers and the Truth. If the Church can become a better marketer then perhaps we can get some of those people who are searching, but lack the necessary relationships.
