"Dr. John Ellas has done it! At least once a week, I receive a call from someone in a church asking about an effective tool to measure their local church. They want to know how to evaluate, plan, measure church growth and be the church God wants them to be. This book is one of a kind. Dr Ellas has been a research consultant for churches for years. Now, this great servant has provided a tool for you to research, evalutate and plan how to be an evangelistic church."
Ray Fulenwider, Minister, Central Church of Christ, Amarillo, Texas
"Just as computers were once available only to the biggest institutions but are now a common fixture in every home and office, so the ability to crunch church numbers accurately and helpfully has only been in the hands of a group of trained church growth analysts. Now, thanks to Ellas, every church has the ability to do some fundamental church data evaluation. Measuring Church Growth is concise and clear. It has a motivational context and methodological intent."
Harold Shank, Pulpit Minister, Highland Street Church of Christ, Memphis, Tennessee

"Many church leaders know neither how nor where to begin to diagnose the health of their local church. In Measuring Church Growth, John Ellas places in our hands a most valuable tool for interpreting the condition of the local church. In a day of declining and plateaued churches, Ellas' pages offer mahor help in assisting congregations in growth renewal."
J. Wayne Kilpatrick, Pulpit Minister, Homewood Church of Christ, Birmingham, Alabama
"Measuring Church Growth is a much needed book because it provides a forecast of the future for a congregation. It provides signs of growth or decline so that corrections can be made. I commend John Ellas and the Center for Church Growth for continuing leadership provided for the growth of the church."
Clayton Pepper, Founder of Church Growth Magazine
