True church growth occurs when Christians grow up into Christlike maturity, so that they love God, love each other, and love the world more with each passing year.
The goal of the church, according to Ephesians 4:15, is for Christians to grow up into maturity, becoming more and more like Jesus Christ. When this happens, church growth happens as well, for the people are growing into Christlike maturity.
