Australia’s Top Three Churches
Submitted by stanfetting on March 2, 2011 – 12:40 pm2 Comments
The top three churches in Australia for conversion and retention growth make for an interesting study. So interesting in fact that Ian Hussey is doing a Phd on them. If contemporary ideas about the missional church in a post-modern age are entirely accurate we would assume that these churches are all based on highly incarnational models with little attractional activity? Ian’s findings turn contemporary wisdom on its head to some degree. This interview is from the latest edition of Crossover’s iDeas DVD, Volume 6, 2011.

Fantastic interview and research. very helpful. the link has been sent to Uniting Church pastors of some of the larger evangelical churches in Australia. One of the issues with us “evangelicals” is that it relates more to our theology than our practice when it comes to consistent conversion and integration into vibrant local churches. I am on the look for someone who has grown a church between 100 – 1000 people with 70% conversion growth.
I would like to take that missional pastor out to lunch and then some!
