Growing the Church
Growing The Church is our third vision initiative. It is our passion to see congregations on fire with faith in Jesus Christ, growing in dynamic loving fellowship, and empowered with the Holy Spirit for outreach and missions.
The challenge facing today's Church: avoiding the “fatal error”
"Management techniques are God-given tools, available for the Church's use. But far more basic are the God-given characteristics of the Church itself - its unique nature as the people of God and its unique gift, the Holy Spirit. The fatal error for the Church is to employ management techniques as if it were just another human organization in pursuit of human goals. The fatal error is to focus on oiling the organizational wheel, without attention to the wheel within the wheel [the Holy Spirit who] is the basic power source.”
Richard G Hutcheson, Wheel Within the Wheel: Confronting the Management Crisis of the Pluralistic Church (Atlanta: John Knox Press, 1979), 155.
Meeting the Challenge! Learning to Cooperate with the Holy Spirit
This event is sponsored by Presbyterian-Reformed Ministries International. Invitations are being extended to those whom God may be calling to help in the development of this biblical approach to growing the Church.
The keys to growing the church and seeing renewal are personal growing faith in Jesus Christ, being grounded in the Bible as the Word of God, and being led and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Our programs for renewal are centered in Jesus Christ as the Lord of the Church, based on scripture, and designed to welcome the empowering gift-giving work of the Holy Spirit.
Ignite provides opportunity for a congregation to catch the Holy Spirit’s flame and grow in faithfulness to Jesus Christ. From a Reformed perspective, Ignite conveys a Biblical message that will enrich and empower the people of your church, enabling them to serve with joy.
The content and length of each event (which may be as short as a day) will be tailored to meet the individual needs of the participating church, and will include worship, teaching, testimonies, practical application of the teaching, prayer and community building.
We are seeking to make the Dunamis Project teaching available more widely, recognizing that for some people it is virtually impossible to attend a Dunamis training event. For this reason, we have produced some elements of Dunamis on VHS and DVD.
However, Dunamis is not merely a TV program to watch - it is a dynamic combination of teaching, testimony, worship, ministry and debriefing. Those who facilitate the Video Course need to be trained and equipped for leadership to help ensure that the ethos and distinctiveness of Dunamis is not lost.
A Short Video Introducing the Dunamis Video Course.
This is a good overview of the aspects of this Course that has been used effectively in over 500 congregations in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
PRMI is a “faith ministry”. By this we mean that we believe God has called us to follow Him in obedience by sharing the vision of what He is doing and inviting others to participate.
We are a ministry committed to fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28) through the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4-8). This engagement in the Kingdom of God is not something that can be bought and sold. Therefore, we have a policy that we are not to charge for ministry. (Remember Simon the magician in Acts 8:9-24? The Holy Spirit cannot be bought or sold!)
The Dunamis Course, with its growing nationwide network of anointed facilitators and teaching materials, is a part of the move of the Holy Spirit for igniting renewal, engagement in missions and evangelism in local congregations. This program is to be developed and extended on the same principles of obedience to Jesus Christ and trusting Him for provision as the PRMI Dunamis Project and the Dunamis Fellowship.
