研究稱:多堂點教會的成功在於更多接觸新信徒

領袖關係網(Leadership Network)的調查顯示:許多教會正在探索多堂點聚會模式,現在在美國這樣的教會已經超過了8000個。調查還顯示,擁有多堂點的教會增長更快,吸引了更多非信徒參加聚會,與單堂點教會相比更能影響新信徒。

領袖關係網的研究和智力資本開發總監沃倫·伯德(Warren Bird)在星期三的網絡會議上說: 「許多教會將繼續探索這種模式,但並不會把它當做增長的途徑,而是為了影響更多人,保持教會的健康運行,並在其他地方複製這一模式。」

根據定義來說,多堂點的聚會就是在統一的領導和預算之下,一個教會分成兩個或更多的堂點聚會。

伯德強調說,多堂點模式在過去10年中經歷了更快的成長,有1/10的經常去做禮拜的人會被這種聚會方式所吸引。

當聚會人數達到約850時,教會就開始多堂點聚會。然而按照報告顯示,一般教會開始這種模式的平均聚會人數是1000。

伯德說,根據他們的調查,擁有多堂點的教會中,幾乎有一半會建立額外的、更小規模的聚會點。他們中的大多教會在聚會人數到達1500時開始分堂。

「那最佳的分堂人數的臨界點是多少呢?那些因為地方過小而分堂的教會說,他們第一次分堂的平均人數是450,」伯德說。

他補充說,「我們了解到許多教會在更早更小規模時就分堂的可能性逐年增加。或許將來我們會發現教會開始非常有規律地分堂。

報告也顯示,分堂的可行性人數是教會總人數的2%到25%之間。比如,那些有15000甚至更多會眾的教會,分堂的可行性人數相當於總人數的2%或3%,一個堂點的人數大約有350人。

然而,伯德說,多方面因素影響着這些平均值。

需要建立新堂點的百分率是變化的,與教會的規模成正比。大家比較贊成的、適合所有教會規模的標準數字是5%或10%,最好是根據教會的規模決定。

關於教會的增長,伯德也提及,已經建立分堂的教會的增長率平均為14%,而分堂的可能性取決於教會的規模。

他說:「通過長時間的跟蹤調查,我們獲得了一個有效的原則,教會規模越大,越需要建立分堂,如此才能更好地服務會眾。」

領袖關係網的這次研究報告得到了12個國家535個教會的回應,其中美國占91%,其餘的來自加拿大、英國等其他國家。其統計顯示,每星期大約有180萬人參加多堂點教會的禮拜。

完整的報告將會於3月6日在領袖關係網上公布。
