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.
