“St John’s Syndrome” Follow Up

Home > Pastor's Blog > “St John’s Syndrome” Follow Up

On Wednesday Night, Jun 19th, we will have a Follow Up discussion on St John’s Syndrome. Three weeks ago, we discussed the Church Growth Disease called “St John’s Syndrome.”  The syndrome is characterized by a church starting well but becoming less effective as it grows older.  This is not just an affliction of modern day churches. It dates all the way back to the earliest churches that are described by the Apostle John in the book of The Revelation.  The church is birthed with excitement, and then there is rapid growth for the next 10-20 years, and then the church “plateau’s” for the next 20-40 years, and then the church goes into a decline and ultimately dies.

We discussed the status of Northlake and at the end of our discussion, we conducted a survey of questions about the growth of the church.  Please come Wednesday Night and let’s study the results of this survey together.
