Little wonder the Evangelical Free Church broke its regionalism and Swedish ethnic roots to become one of the fastest growing denominations in the country: they focus on church planting.
In particular, they appeal pan-Evangelically and not just in-house, they put resources into their promotion and discernment process — and yes, they have a well developed discernment process. It has a strong personalty temperament component, and MBTI-ies will feel validated.
Plus, and this is the part that makes me spare a prayer for them, they don’t hide or cloak the first level of resources. Those resources that are “reserved” are those made with staff time and personal assessment and contact, and that is more than fair.
