The Transforming Churches Network: Part 2, It=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?=s All About Commitment

Last time we took a look at the origins of the Mission Revitalization program and the Transforming Churches Network (TCN), discovering their underpinnings to be an admixture of Church Growth Movement (CGM) ideas from non-Lutheran and business world sources. Today we'll take an initial look at how those CGM ideas affect practice.

To gain a sense of the CGM influence, one need look no further than the video "A DVD Overview of the TCN Process" on the TCN website. It contains a series of interviews of mostly "new disciples" who have this to say:

I spent quite a bit of time addicted to methamphetamines, and now that I have been going, man, it's just, like I said it's a hundred and eighty degree difference. It's like a switch. Like I was, I don't know, a boy, now I'm way more of a man and I've grown much stronger in God.

It wasn't truly until I gave myself. You know, I can remember the day that I truly truly meant 'I'm giving it to you.' You know, 'I'm giving to you Jesus.' I needed that arm to reach out and hold me.

Being baptized and saved, that's just what it means, being baptized and saved. Washing your sins away, opening your heart up to Jesus, and really just, you know, taking that great great change to make you feel better because I know that now that I'm committing my life to Christ, and I know that when I die that I'm going to heaven.

We're both recovering from meth addiction… Our life has just totally made a complete turnaround. We're actually reaching out to other people now, inviting them to church, because we love it.

One of the things we were kind of looking for when we were looking for a church was a place that could really help us grow our family, spiritually, which we hadn't really found in the past, and every single lesson that we've learned at LakePointe has applied to our life, and I'm really excited that my children are going to have the opportunity to grow in that church and to be able to be a part of this church because I think that this church is going to do amazing things. And I don't know that we would have found that anywhere else, so we're just, I mean we feel like we're home at LakePointe. [This person is not a new Christian]

Looking closely at the quotes, while we can share the joy of these Christians, it becomes clear that the makers of the video aren't interested in projecting a view of the Christian life as one under the cross. There is no sense of a daily life of repentance and forgiveness lived out in Christ. Instead, they give the impression that "church" is about turning your life around, solving your problems, committing your life to Christ, making you feel better, and learning important life lessons that can be applied to you and your family. The focus isn't on Jesus and His obedience, it's on you and your obedience. It's a Law-driven message, and highlights the mindset of those "transformed" by TCN. Another quote from a Groups Ablaze! presentation echoes these same thoughts:

People find empowerment for life's structures of meaning when they participate in the church. Something happens that makes the job, marriage, family, and faith–as well as civic participation–more fulfilling.

These emphases reflect CGM ideas, and a seeker-sensitive mindset, where the unbeliever becomes the customer, and the church changes its "presentation" to attract the unbeliever and meet her "felt needs." The "seekers" are pandered to; they are presented a picture of the Church as something anyone would want rather than the reality found in the foolishness of the cross. In the process, Law and Gospel are watered down. The TCN small groups and triads are designed with the "seeker" in mind. Quotes from one TCN church Consultation Report reflect this seeker-sensitivity in their prescriptions for this congregation:

- Begin the planning process to initiate a second worship service which is designed to attract the people of [their city].

- This refocusing process will include surveying the community and hosting community based focus groups with the goal of understanding the needs of the people living within the area surrounding the church facility.

We should "understand the needs" of our neighbor so that we can serve him through our vocations. To "understand the needs" of our neighbor so that we can better make "church" more palatable for him does him a disservice. The need of our neighbor that should be addressed in church is his need to hear the truth. Tell him that he is a sinner. Lead him to repentance so that the Gospel will deliver him from his body of death to life everlasting.

Next time we'll explore the presuppositions on which Mission Revitalization and the Transforming Churches Network are based.

A World of Opportunity

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) reports that the world is in the grips of a deepening recession. I look at it that we are in the grips of a world of opportunity. We just have to work smart at finding it.

Read more here.

Separately, I was a part of a vibrant panel discussion on global business early yesterday morning for Crain’s Chicago Business. I met so many interesting people and I just want to say, “thank you” to all who came up to me after the talk to say nice things. One attendee, a trained psychologist who specializes in family business said, “One of your statements really resonated with me.” And I quickly asked, “Oh, you mean the one about ‘begin with the end in mind?’” He said, “No, the one where you declared ‘make it very hard for people on the Internet not to find you.” To him and everyone else who attended, I say, “nice to meet you and thank you for listening!”

The Transforming Churches Network: Part 3, Eliminating Regressive Attitudes

The base assumption that drives the Transforming Churches Network (TCN) and the revitalization "process" is that a church that is not growing is an "unhealthy" church:

It has been estimated that 80% of the congregations of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod are plateaued or declining in Sunday worship attendance. While a great deal of excellent ministry occurs in many of these congregations, the lack of growth is a constant concern. Typically such congregations are preoccupied with issues of institutional survival which is counterproductive to outreach. By making the needs of unbelieving people and the lifestyle outreach of church members the focus of the ministry, many of the regressive attitudes and disabling circumstances so prevalent in the institution will give way to hope, new life and new members. (online reference)

Dan Southerland, another Church Growth Movement (CGM) expert, states "According to recent studies, 80 percent of churches in North America are plateaued or in decline" (Transitioning: Leading Your Church Through Change, p. 13). This 80% figure seems to have become something of an urban legend, perfect for maintaining the heightened sense of urgency required to facilitate the CGM paradigm shift.

TCN asks: "How will we know when a congregation has been transformed? Well, when it is regularly and consistently making new disciples, and it renews it members so that they're making new disciples by the power of the Holy Spirit" (quoted from TCN video). Do these quotes from TCN materials sound like the work of the Holy Spirit to you?

Congregational consultations, quality research on what the Holy Spirit is doing, developing leadership skills, stump speeches, strategies, bench marks, scorecards and time logs, extensive statistical research, accountability, pilot projects field testing materials, and using the pulpit to cast vision and to create a sense of urgency.

If not, then how does the Holy Spirit work?

First off, God does not deign to share with us His "church growth plans." At times He grows His church with increasing numbers. At times He grows His Church with decreasing numbers. It is a theology of glory to claim that a church is healthy only if it is growing. As the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod Church Growth Study Committee reports,

Therefore, it is spiritually harmful:

- When it is thought that saving faith can be imparted by human market strategies or hat the growth of the Holy Christian Church can be adequately or accurately measured by numbers (Matt. 7:13–14; 16:18; Acts 2:47; Col. 2:19).

- When a congregation sees itself as necessarily more faithful because it is not growing. Or, conversely, when a congregation views growing numbers and income as an indication that Christ is necessarily building His church. Numbers, large or small, are not a litmus test of the Gospel's power (Matt. 7:24–27).

- When anything other than faithfulness by pastor or people to the pure Gospel and Sacraments of Christ is used to measure the "health" of a congregation (1 Cor. 2:2).

What happens when church growth becomes so important that it eclipses all other considerations? Those holding to the CGM "vision" develop "strategies designed to reach certain bench marks which are consistent with the national revitalization definitions. These benchmarks include a minimum of 5% growth in worship attendance each year, and increased percentages of adult to child baptisms and confirmations. Growth in healthy small group life and community involvement are also measured" (quoted from the online TCN page "Coaching the Pastor and Leaders of the Congregation). It comes up with bullet points such as these, quoted from the Groups Ablaze! PowerPoint "Revitalization Learnings":

Holding [District] staff accountable enables them to seek to hold pastors and congregations accountable.

Underachieving staff receive no raise or are let go.

Pastors need to be held accountable for results.

Ineffective pastors are asked to move on.

When these types of bullet points are advocated, it's obvious that those involved have abandoned their trust in the Word, and have placed their trust in man-made results. The pastor is no longer considered the called and ordained servant of the Word, but is now considered an expendable "equipper." (One TCN document warns "Expect resistance from the pastor as he shifts from 'care-taker' and 'shepherd' to more of an equipper role" (online reference)). If Jeremiah were around today, he too would be "asked to move on;" his congregation had definitely "plateaued."

Coming up next, we'll take a closer look at the TCN congregation consultation weekend, where these "plateaued" congregations receive their "inward focused" label.
