Christian A. Schwartz is the head of the Institute for Natural Church Development in Germany. Schwartz did an extensive research in surveying more than 1,000 churches in 32 countries on six continents to discuss what are the principles for church growth. He has analysed his findings and now helps churches to grow by his Natural Church Development curriculum.
Church growth is organic and occurs by itself if the correct conditions are present, much like a seed will germinate into a plant if the soil condition is good.
This in summary are the various components of Natural Church Development.
The eight qualities are the principles behind church growth. Schwarz claims that they are universal principles and are able to prove these by the churches that are adopting Natural Church Development.source: NCD Media, Emmelsbull, Germany
