A healthy church doesn’t grow because of an increase in attendance or giving, but rather from a desire from the leadership and congregation alike to rely more and more on the word of God, to engage in discipleship and fellowship, and to be faithful with the resources they have been given. Pastor Terry says that you can’t grow in your faith without it being rooted in prayer and the reading of Scripture. It’s like trying to drink water from an empty glass, there isn’t any nourishment to be found.
