The church
growth models do not depend on any particular church growth methodology
and as such endorse none. The models assume growth through contact
between believer and unbeliever. However most methodologies discuss
contacts between believer and unbeliever, reversion, child retention
etc. even though they do not come to any quantifiable and testable
conclusions. Thus they provide useful background information.
