This describes briefly the notion of a "spiritual growth horizon" which is the spectrum of how churches interact with people, both the churched and non-churched. It articulates how Mass Ignition broadens the spectrum.

1. Expanding the Spiritual Growth
Horizon
Warning: Deliberately Simplistic
to Arouse Debate

2. Here is a Person

3. How a Church Initially Sees That Person
?
“Un-Churched” “Churched”
Narrow Spiritual Growth Spectrum
“?” Is the Spiritual Fulcrum / Decision

4. How a Church Grows the “Churched”
Small groups
Sunday Sermons
Service
Seminars
?
Growth Path for Most Churches (except for
heavily resourced) is neither deep nor extensible
and progressive and mostly knowledge-based

5. Importance of Growing The “Churched”
Depth
Breadth
?
“Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the
apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors
and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people
to do his work and build up the church, the body of
Christ.” (Eph 4:11-12)

6. Equal Importance To The “Un-Churched”
Earlier Depth
Narrower Breadth
?
Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “God
authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train
everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by
baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then
instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with
you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the
age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)

7. Challenge: Very Resource Intensive
• Expertise (Life-driven vs. Head)
• Availability (Time, Place)
• Deliverability (Modes, Structure)
