Reproduction by AttractionA talented pastor with a lively church
program attracts new members who leave less interesting churches to attend his.
One church grows while others shrink.Their combined growth = none.

Reproduction by Attrition
One church shrinks while others grow.Their combined growth = none.
A lazy or greedy pastor disappoints his churchmembers, so they leave and go to other churches.

Reproduction by Duplication
Where there was one church, now there are two or more. Both may grow or may stagnate.
A ‘mother’ church plants a ‘daughter’ church. Each church has its own leaders and ministries.

Reproduction by Division
Where there was one church, now there are two smaller churches. Both may grow or may stagnate.
Some members of a church split away from that church; they go start their own church.

Reproduction by Addition
He can plant new churches until he becomes too busy to take care of any more. When he dies,
many branch churches will decline.
A strong pastor plants several ‘branch’ churches. He appoints an assistant in each branch.

Reproduction by Subtraction
A wise pastor coaches new leaders in the many new churches. These, too, may reproduce.
Persecution, economics or war forces a big church to close down. Its members scatter
and start many smaller churches.

Reproduction by Multiplication
This process can continue to many generations of new leaders and of new churches, forever.
A wise pastor coaches new shepherds who start new churches; these coach more new shepherds who start more new churches.
