- W5115840 abstract "AN INTRODUCTORY STUDY INTO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MINISTERIAL ADHERANCE TO WESLEYAN SOTERIOLOGY AND CHURCH GROWTH IN THE NORTH ALABAMA CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH by Travis Neal Wilson The United Methodist Church and the North Alabama Conference are in a period of numerical decline. One attempt to solve the decline involved a challenge by Bishop William H. Willimon to increase worship attendance in the North Alabama Conference by 5 percent during the 2005-2006 conference year. The purpose of this dissertation was to describe the relationship between the soteriology of a senior minister and church growth in the North Alabama Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church among the churches who met Bishop Willimon’s 5 percent Worship Attendance Challenge. This exploratory research entailed surveying a test group of thirty-two select senior ministers whose churches had met Bishop Willimon’s 5 percent Challenge. Wesleyan soteriology was the standard by which these senior ministers were evaluated with a survey and a semi-structured interview protocol. Results indicated that the senior minister’s adherence to Wesleyan soteriology could not be discounted as a factor in the numerical growth of the churches. Further, the results indicated that 90.5 percent of the senior ministers studied believed that their soteriology was directly or indirectly related to the growth of the church.
